    Waitress was attentive and provided good service. Food was good, but could've been warmer.

    My only “complaint“ would be that the menu was quite limited and did not have the full meals like I was hoping for. That’s a great place for sandwiches and beverages and there is one steak on the menu. I would like to see some more classic meals on the menu as well. But on the whole, this was an excellent restaurant.
