Our server was really nice. But she was busy and the service was slow from the beginning, food was average. Dirty plates not removed. There are so many places in this area, I’m not sure I would pick this over the other restaurants.

Salmon nachos were too salty. Nacho/wontons didn’t hold the toppings well. Very mediocre.

It was a big group of us and our server was great -Justin. Food was yum and atmosphere had a nice vibe. They turned music down as it was blaring at 530 pm. Appreciated they did that so we could converse easily. Will definitely go back.

Had an amazing experience here. The food was seasoned perfectly and enjoyable. And the huge cookies are a must. So many flavors to try we did sea salt chocolate and a wild bananas. Very soft and chewy. Highly recommend

My daughter wanted to go here for her 21st bday dinner. It was crowded for a Tuesday evening and fairly loud. Our server was very good, though I could tell she was running around a lot to help all the tables. My husband and I got a alcoholic cider and my daughter got a shirley temple, WHY is lemonade $9??!?!?!? A beer or cider is less then a soft drink??? Sorry but way too pricey. Entrees were good, but overpriced. I understand food is more expensive, but $25 for a bowl of pasta that doesn't even have meat or a $20 individual pizza? our check was over $112 with three entrees, no meat, 1 dip appetizer and 2 ciders and a shirly temple. Our server was very gracious and very sweet, that is what we enjoyed best

Our server Shabani (not sure if the spelling is correct) was great! We were celebrating a birthday and she truly made it very special! She was very attentive, joyful, and brought us a warm cookie with a candle to celebrate with. The food was excellent. Our whole family really enjoyed the dinner.

Food was truly not good - entrees were both bland. Server was nice but clearly overworked. Cookie handler blew his nose in close proximity to the open cookie display. Virgin lemonade was nearly $10! Yikes. Just never going back.
