    Food and service were fine. HIGHLY disappointed that I saw an ADMIN FEE on the ticket. FOR WHAT???? There really isn't a need for this unless they're looking for an extra profit category on the restaurant's books. I call BS on that...

    We ate on the sixth floor. It was a Monday at 7:30 so hardly anyone was on the 1st or 6th floors. Our server was excellent. So friendly and made it fun. The food was outstanding. The chicken parm was done perfectly. The spicy shrimp with creamy pasta was phenomenal. So delicious.

    Making a reservation and getting seated at the entrance of the restroom with half the restaurant empty was a bummer

    Had dinner at the Diner with my husband. It was easy to get a table there because of their size. The server was very good- always there when we needed him, but not hovering. We both had hamburgers with fries. Both were fine, but nothing memorable.

    Servers were engaging and fun. Food was delicious. Pot roast is amazing. Loved being on the 4th floor better than the first.

    Delicious food with attentive friendly service. Egg rolls as appetizer were great. Our cousin got his pickle beer and we all tried different dishes and they were all great. Chicken Asian noodle, chicken Parmesan, chicken dinner are all great choices.

    The food was great. It’s a very nice upscale restaurant. Service was wonderful. The only negative was that it was freezing in there. We had to move our table twice to get away from the vents blasting cold air.

    Have dined there several times over the past few years. This trip was on a slow Wednesday evening. The staff at the hostess station was severely disinterested and very busy with their phones. Barely looked up to direct us to our table. A sign of the times I suppose. On the other hand our waitress was very knowledgeable , attentive and helpful. The food was fine, served very quickly and of high quality. The property itself could use a little freshing up. Over all a fine place for diner and a good value given its location.
