Our 2nd visit. Our server was the original owner. This restaurant was originally located by Hugh Grant circle back in the 70s -90's. I recommend this place if you want a good fast relaxation atmosphere

The food is always really good. There's a waitress there that is absolutely great. It seems like she was born to host/waitress. I only gave 4 stars because the bathrooms and place in general really needs some updating.
