    I try to come @ least once a week! Closed Sunday's/Monday's but when you come in, be sure to ask for Christina. Daily specials, exceptional food & always good service. Try the chicken fingers & fries!

    When it gets too crowded inside, go outside to the balcony and people watch. There's sure to be a couple interesting people walking around downtown!
