    We had a great experience. I probably would’ve got bottled water instead of water in a glass just because I’m not used to the taste of the water here. Our server, Haley went above and beyond. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and it’s the first food I was able to eat it wasn’t toast or crackers so I was super happy about that. I got the spaghetti and my niece got the shells and cheese. She normally doesn’t eat all of her food either, but she did eat a lot which I think says a lot. We enjoyed everything.
