Staff are described as friendly and attentive, often providing helpful explanations and recommendations for both food and desserts. On the downside, service is occasionally slow or inconsistent, with some diners reporting rude responses or unhelpful service, and there are notes about extra charges for items like Greek salad and some items being pricier. A few reviews mention smaller portions or order mistakes, and one calls a pizza undercooked while another notes very salty smoked meat, though overall pizza and other offerings get strong praise. Hours can be limited, and a few visitors find the seating area tight, but the overall impression emphasizes flavor, variety, and family appeal with occasional caveats about service consistency and price.View restaurant profile
