The server was fantastic our server Nikki could not have been better. The Salad bar was included with all the lunches and it was outstanding. The lettuce was fresh and crisp and everything else on the salad bar was really good. The meal came with complimentary bread service served warm with olive oil and butter. The pizza was really good, the pasta was fresh and very cheesy, the sandwich and fries were not as good they just seemed ordinary. The pecan pie was a let down the crust was hard and the pecans tasted burnt so I would say avoid it. The restaurant was nicely appointed but in the restroom was a not very well taken care of, the toilet paper holder was broken and just hanging there and it was out of soap which being there as they opened i would think it would be full.

The breaded pork tenderloin is at #1 bottom of the list for the BPTs I enjoyed in the area. This was pulled from a frozen box and deep fried. Large but sub par.

Wine glass pours are pretty large so you get great value for your money there! The pear martini is also fantastic.
