Final Grade: 75% (Good)

Notes: Tasty food, but the price is far too high for the portion size - it's a bad sign when you need to pick up a slice of pizza on the way back to work after lunch just to tide you over until supper. The wait staff seemed rather indifferent and slow, leaving much to be desired.
