There is nothing that I don't love about this place. My first visit was a late afternoon lunch after a hike and we sat on the patio. Trust me when I tell you that you MUST get the bruschetta. I can't wait to go back. The parking doesn't bother me a bit because it's all part of the experience-don't let it deter you. If you want a big lot and a restaurant with crappy food, no ambiance, and terrible service, go to Chili's.
