    Food and drinks were great. Staff did a wonderful job. The front door by the host stand was left open. Don’t know if it was a passerby or someone waiting for a table but kept smelling cigarette smoke throughout our dinner.

    Always a great burger. Love to come here the night before a big flight — have a nice glass of wine, a burger. It’s always cooked perfectly and delicious. Service was gracious. Everything was great. Look forward to my next trip through here.
