    So there were four of us in our party. Three got wraps, all of which were rather dry & tasteless. The fourth got a burger and it was great. However, two of us got side salads, had to come directly home and were sick to our stomach. The service was awful…empty water glasses for most of our meal. Finally flagged down another server who filled our glasses. Have eaten here several times and quality has steadily declined. Really wanted to support a local small business but doubt we will return.

    They left the paper on the cheese for the grilled cheese. However they took it off our bill and brought a slice of cheese cake to make up for it which was also free. My martini was $14 and the food was very pricey. Overall good but definitely a special occasion type of place for us

    The server was not overly friendly and it was if she felt she was doing us a favor by gracing us with her presence. Otherwise, the food was good and reasonably priced.

    If you’re looking for a great restaurant in Mt Zion, this is it. Very friendly and efficient wait staff, a well rounded menu and light jazzy background music. We will eat here again soon.
