The food was good as usual but they did go up on their prices again. The soup was hot, salad fresh, chicken Alfredo was amazing and of course the breadsticks were awesome! The broccoli in the chicken Alfredo was very soft so if you do not like really soft veggies best not to order the broccoli added in for an extra 2.99. Buuuttt I had to give it a try. Our waitress was nice as well. And gotta love the after mints! I will for sure come back but with how the prices are still climbing it will be a while.
