    The staff were friendly and tremendously helpful. The food was amazing and presented beautifully. The unique home made mushroom ravioli was completely tasty and the grilled chicken topped with spinach and Greek Salad left me with a feeling of eating home made and homegrown fare. You don't want to miss out on this dining experience!

    It took 15 minutes for the waiter to ask us about drinks. It took 40 min for our entries to come out and 20 min for the appetizers (salad soup calamari). The waiter did not check on us during dinner to refresh drinks or ask about the meal is and the hostess needed to push the waiter to come to our table. Food was excellent.
