If I can give this place more than five stars, it deserves it! The food was delicious and the staff was excellent. We celebrated two birthdays and they brought out a delicious dessert.

Came in on a Thursday for lunch for the federal special. The place was mobbed as expected but I got a place at the bar. Service was good, sanwvuch was ok And was marked as free but definitely not a $18 value which is what they discounted it. Decor here is really amazing as always.
