    Good food. Well-trained servers. Lovely setting. A little louder today than usual, but we could still have a conversation at our table.

    Only complaint that room was cold. Many customers kept their coats on so this marred experience.

    A nice lunch menu at fair prices and very good food and service. Plus a good kids menu. We started here with lunch before visiting the circus museum. Makes for a great afternoon.

    Not our first time eating here and will not be our last. Nice wines by the glass and brunch is served on weekends in addition to lunch options. Shrimp in tacos were a bit overcooked. Indoor and outdoor seating avaliable.

    We and our guests enjoyed a delicious lunch but as the restaurant filled up the noise level was very intrusive on our conversation.
