Ambiance & Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "The inviting ambiance, complete with comfortable seating and friendly staff, contributes to a positive dining experience."

Cons:

  • "If it's not a nice day out you can't really see anything that you're doing and the acoustics in the place are extremely awkward."

  • "The servers and workers do like to gather at the last table by the bar area though and seem to goof off."
