Had dinner there with a friend before we went to the palace theater. we go there every time, it’s become a tradition. They never pressure us to rush. We have all the time that we need. We love sitting at one of the small round tables near the window because we have a little more space, are out-of-the-way and can have private conversations. we order multiple appetizers and they are phenomenal! from the bread and the cheese to the meatballs to the fries the chicken tenders and even sharing a burger, everything is delish! service is awesome.
