This is a great family place and a great value! The menu offers plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. There is a bar and live music downstairs, which we did not visit. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, as was the staff. Our server was outstanding, warm, friendly and knowledgeable.

We had the Nile Nachos and mozzarella sticks for appetizers. The mozzarella sticks were super melty and fabulously crispy. And the marinara was seriously world class. The chips for the nachos were homemade and so deliciously crisp with a satisfying texture and were perfectly seasoned. The wat sauce was so good! The jalapenos even tasted home pickled or were at least top shelf commercial.

We had the personal pizza, the Smokey Robinson burger, the PonyBoy burger and the cheese steak which they cheerfully made vegetarian for me by subbing sliced tofu for the steak. All of us had our eyes roll back in our heads from the delicious, fresh quality ingredients, and love that went into everything that came out of the kitchen. And if your sandwich comes with chips, you can get fries for just a dollar more and I'd definitely recommend that you do! They were hand cut, expertly fried and perfectly seasoned. We could have eaten a tubful of those little bits of perfection!! And the pickles, which also tasted homemade were the bomb!

The service was exemplary and anticipatory. Before the drinks ran dry, our server appeared with refills. And she asked all the right questions so that we had exactly what we needed. The portions were ample, the food super fresh and well-made, and the prices were very reasonable- about $68 for the four of us, 2 appetizers and four entrees. Go, visit, eat, you will absolutely love it. It's won a place in our family's rotation. We already can't wait for our next visit!
