I visited at 3 p.m. on a Sunday, had iced tea and the goat cheese & peach salad with salmon added on top.

Enjoyed everything about my visit. I arrived about 15 minutes before my friend, was seated and ordered my iced tea. No one pressured me, but I felt attended to.

When my friend arrived her drink order was taken, we were given space for her to read the menu. When the server came through and saw my friend was opening a present, she gave us breathing room before returning to take our food order. After the food was served she checked in again to see if everything was ok, then left us alone until it was time to go.

My friend had mentioned to our server that she was attending a 4:30 p.m. bday party in the function room. So around 4:15 as I put my fork down and said to my friend I'd take the rest home, the server reappeared and asked if we wanted the check. She then reappeared with the check in about 2 minutes, we paid and said goodbye to each other. It felt like such a seamless, easy going experience.

Now, the salad: really enjoyed the pecans and peaches. I think the balsamic dressing was good and the greens were fresh. The salmon was lightly seasoned with salt and pepper, and I appreciated that it wasn't overcooked. It was tender. The fried goat cheese was ok, but nothing to write home about. I would order this salad again, but I'd like to try something else on their menu next time. They seem to have some good options.
