    A friend and I went for lunch before a performance. The staff member inquired whether we on a time crunch. She was extremely professional and inobtrusive but always there when we needed her. The food selection was large and varied. It was so hard to choose! The items we had were uniformly delicious, even the bruschetta which we were worried about because tomatoes are not in season.

    My aunt and I went for a late lunch, around 3:30 on a Thursday. Our server was amazing. Very personable and attentive. My lemon drop martini was one of the best I've ever had. Wine selection was good. Food was amazing! Crusty rolls with oil brought to the table before our meal were warm and delicious. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
