"Wow! We stopped by for lunch today since we were nearby, and although it was already bustling, the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff managed to fit us in. We’re so glad they did! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, but we weren’t quite ready for a big meal, so we ordered a Croque Madame and a French Dip from the smaller plates section, along with a side of chunky chips just to be safe. Even though they were clearly busy, the service was prompt, and the food was outstanding. The portion sizes were generous, especially the Croque, which was bursting with flavor. Even the chips were among the best we've ever had! If you're in the area, I highly recommend giving it a try. If everything else is as good as the food we enjoyed, you're in for a real treat!"
