reviews sounded really good but we found the lunch menu choices were not that great. Service was a bit off-hand and the ravioli I ordered more than 'al dente'...almost uncooked.

We love eating here. We go there for breakfast lunch or dinner. The menu has something for everyone and it is quick and reasonably priced. The food is great and its convenient for pre show diiners too.
