After a long drive from SoCal, we decided to make this place our dinner pit stop. Love that they…read morehave a kids menu, which makes it easier to dine with two little ones. My son also specifically requested Alfredo so it's great that they have that on the kids menu! If you're tired of fast food, I highly recommend making this place your lunch or dinner stop. Food comes out fast and service is great. Highlight of our night was when staff handed my kids a small cup of koi food so we could feed the fish before making our way home. The kids really enjoyed that. We will be making this our pit stop coming home from SoCal every time from now on.

We came here last month and grabbed takeout, and honestly, the food was great! So today, we decided…read moreto come back and actually sit down for a meal. Party of 3 -- how hard could this be? We were initially told there would be a 20-minute wait, which was totally fine. Then things got a little... interesting. Two different staff members told the greeter at the front that our table was ready, but we were still asked to keep waiting. About 15 minutes into our wait, a party of 7 walked in and was told they would have a table ready for them. At that point, we decided our party of 3 had apparently been moved to the "please continue waiting indefinitely" category and we left. What made this especially strange was that there were five tables for four open. We understand that restaurants get busy and that seating can be complicated, but this situation just didn't make sense. If a table is available and staff are saying it's ready, why keep guests waiting while a much larger party is welcomed in? The food may be great, but the customer experience left us scratching our heads. Every customer should feel like they're important -- whether they're a party of 3, 7, or even just one person. Hopefully management can take a look at what happened, because this was a very unusual experience.
