We had a group of 6. Had a very nice round table in the corner by a window. Our server was very nice and took our drink orders first. Then came back in an appropriate time to take our food orders. The food came out all at once and all orders were accurate and hot. We had a very relaxing dinner. The food was hot and delicious. We had smash burgers, pulled chicken sandwich, margarita pizza, chicken wrap and one fried bologna sandwich. The bologna sandwich was just a little too different. Our server took very good care of us. We had a great dinner before going to the Muny. It was a perfect beginning to our night.

Was surprised that there were only two other occupied tables during my dinner visit because the food and prices were great! The chef came out to say hello and I asked him if he could make mashed potatoes with chicken picatta and he said he didn’t have them made yet so there might be an extra wait. Boy was it worth it!! Best chicken picatta ever! Drink prices during happy hour are very inexpensive.
