"Disappointed with the coffee after noticing the high ratings here. At least the kids had fun playing on the "Nikigator" outside in front."
Ken Weiner 
"2 of the six dishes were inedibly sweet and returned (crudo and carrots). Pierogi were okay. Beet salad was also sweet but edible. The meatballs & rock shrimp gyoza were delicious. Won't be back."
