Would give a 10 if I could!! Catered wedding this past weekend! Most humble and hard-working staff I’ve ever experienced! Food and unique cake were amazing! Cocktail hour so fun and accommodating! Breakdown and setup between ceremony and dinner was fast and looked beautiful when done guests had a great time and quite a few commented best wedding overall they’ve ever been to

I tend to forget about this place even though it isn't far from my work, but its a great lunch spot. Food is always good and their Reuben specifically borders on great. Very good fries too. If I had any one knock it would be that sometimes lunch is fairly busy and the space isn't huge. Tables are pretty close together so it can feel cramped when busy. You order and pick up from a counter so not much to say about service.
