    Blaine, our server, was spot on! The turkey Reuben was divine (as always!- just wish the sodium content was a little lighter!). The French Onion soup and Double Nickel salad were fabulous.

    Friends out for casual dining experience. I had the Thursday special, which was the Italian Torpedo with Fries. Sandwich and fries were great!! Other 2 friends split a Sicilian pizza and chicken wings. The pizza was excellent and the wings were very good. Our server, Brian, was wonderful. He had such a positive attitude and provided excellent customer service!! One of the best servers we have had. We really enjoy this restaurant and will be returning soon for dinner again. Keep up the great work!!!

    Giovanni was delightful, as always. Our meals were scrumptious (again, as always). The chicken quesadilla, shrimp scampi and Baja tacos were divine. Do not change a thing!

    Lovely experience! The St. Patty’s day cornbeef, potatoes and cabbage was so delicious. The staff was really helpful and honest when I left my purse there, and gave it back!

    Our server, Gabriella, was terrific. Thank you! Three of us had the shrimp special and one had the turkey burger. All were fabulous, as were the simple & double nickel salads. One suggestion—when entering with a wheeled chair or stroller, have one of the side doors be “automatic” so your guests don’t have to struggle to gain entry.

    Thank you for your review! We are so pleased to hear that you had a great visit overall. That is excellent and valuable feedback about the automatic door on the accessible entrance and we will pass along to our regional and executive team. Thank you so much and we will see you soon!
