Friendly but courteous and efficient service. Crab meat linguine is not difficult to make, but difficult to do well, because it needs attention. Ours was perfect. Likewise my son's rib-eye, and my daughter's burger was outstanding. Gee's is always comfortable and welcoming, and this was a delightful family lunch.
