  • "The homemade cavatelli was the highlight of the meal."
  • "2 Spicy Chicken Sandwiches - Better than Chick-fil-A and Popeye’s."

  • "Every single plate from the appetizers to the entrees to the desserts was so delicious."

  • "judging from the looks I received from staff upon walking in this isn’t the place for me to eat at."
  • "Uncomfortable chairs."
  • "We had brunch consisting of muddy coffee, cold toast, a flavorless omelette, mushy bacon, off tasting sausage, and a hash brown I can only describe as having the density of a hockey puck saturated in grease."

  • "But the lady with the glasses comes off unwelcoming."

  • "Stay far away!"
