My first visit to this place was just a couple years ago and, at the time, it was quite good. The food was delicious, the restaurant seemed clean and bright. However, it seems to have been declining in quality ever since.
Upon arriving for our latest visit, we were seated on the left side of the restaurant where I found myself sitting uncomfortably on a cloth bench cover that looked as if it hadn't been washed in ages, if ever. Water glasses arrived covered in dishwasher grime and fingerprints.
While the staff are friendly, they don't seem to naturally meet the tone of the table and can come off a bit too sales-y at times. This could be the result of trying to maintain such a large establishment while depending primarily on a brunch service and waining dinner crowd.
Despite missing the mark on some other aspects of the experience, the food is always delicious and though I miss the short rib that they used to serve, they do a lovely job creating a balanced menu from season to season.
I hope they're able to revive the charm and quality they once delivered. It would be a shame to see a place with such potential shut down.
