They're friendly & prompt. Pricey for what it is. Food is decent but plain. I had a western omelette sandwich, huge amount of egg, a little dry, not seasoned. I chose salad as a side, iceberg lettuce, couple cuke & tomato slices. Husband had a Reuben & fries, said his sandwich was just ok. Fries not crispy (I sampled those).

I also ordered Mexican Street Corn that was sweet and spicy at the same time. It was good. For the steak, I ordered a medium rare tenderloin, which was cooked to the right temperature. However the seasoning was basic. The green peppercorn jus that came with the steak was salty. The same went for the Mac and cheese. That was disappointing.

It had rained the day we went and while indoor dining was bustling, we chose to sit outside on the patio, which was empty on arrival. Tables and chairs were wet but the weather changed and the sun shone again, drying up the area. We ordered several appetizers to share; bang bang shrimp (yummy), soup dumplings (yummy), spinach and artichoke dip (mediocre - have had better), sweet potato and regular fries plus dips (both very good) and dragon boat lettuce wraps (the crispy noodle and chicken with hoisin sauce and cashews was delicious and my favourite but the lettuce leaves had spoiled spots and seemed not to be thoroughly washed). I took the liberty of cleaning the lettuce before eating it. We also received dirty plates but bringing this to our server's attention quickly remedied the problem. Besides these minute concerns, the food and service and company were great! The patio filled up quite fast shortly after we placed our order and received our food. Arriving before dinnertime surely worked in our favour!

We shared the pork entrée for two and ordered an extra side of truffle fries. For a two person entrée, the quantity is on the light side. However, it is just enough if both people are light eaters. Would definitely order an additional dish if you would like a more substantial meal. That being said, the pork was done perfectly, and we really liked the spetzel on the side.
