    Had a reservation and we were seated right away. Was a little noisy but not so you couldn’t talk with my wife. Had the ranch dip for appetizers dip was good and the veggies fresh chips were salty and a little spicy which I liked. My wife had the salmon bowl which she loved and I had fish and chips which was a nice piece of fish and shoestring fries which are my favorite. I opted for the chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce which was sooo good Our waitress was very friendly and attentive without being too intrusive. Bill came to about $100 including a mixed drink and a beer. We will be back
