Vibe: Dull ambience could use charm

Walking into the restaurant feels like stepping into an outdated furniture warehouse. Dated chairs and emptiness resonate, leaving patrons yearning for a little ambiance. Crowded evenings can spell trouble for romance as the allure of date night dims under the fluorescent lights.

  • Great Comfort

  • Okay Aesthetic

    Atmosphere homey with regulars, though decor is simple, nice.

Perks: Adequate services masked by chaos

Though service is superb, the ease of parking and making a reservation leaves something to be desired. The mix of kids enjoying their meals and the availability of vegetarian options shines amidst the sometimes cramped quarters, though the outdoor seating seems to disappear too early.
