    The food was good as usual and sitting on the patio is delightful. However, they brought the main dishes within 4 minutes of bring the very large shared appetizer plate so the table was really cramped (not everything was fully on the table) and the food sat coming to ambient temperature until the appetizer was done. When I complained to our server, she said her manager made her do it this way. They made no concession on our charge either. BOOO

    I got the chicken mushroom and balsamic pizza. It was pretty bland since the chicken was not seasoned at all. The overall taste wasn’t great. My husband got the meatballs and they were pretty good. The food is hit and miss here.

    Three of us ate on the patio! It was a lovely Saturday afternoon. I would have liked more options on menu besides just Brunch. But the setting, food, and service were perfect. And parking was easy.

    The Mary’s chicken was excellent, as always. My grandchildren loved the baked panne. And the service has improved greatly with Anthony (?), the very tall , exceptionally helpful and friendly wait person.

    Always have my beet and goat cheese sandwich.....bread was as thin as the beets...and tiny! Needless to say, rather messy, but with thicker bread and a larger sandwich, quite manageable....."they" seemed so compensate by giving me a HUGE salad....

    All menu items were very tasty and priced right but the wines were over priced for their quality.
