Was suggested this place by a friend. Im a passer through. Greeted with a smile (Cayla) I expected to find a greasy hole in a wall but was surprised by an elegant and super clean decor of the interior. I ordered the short rib sandwich and it was so tender & juicy. I definitely would like to make time for a sit down meal with friends here.

Could not have been happier with our experience. Food and service were excellent. My daughter had spaghetti and meatballs, I had the blackened chicken Alfredo. I would definitely eat here again.
