    The melon and tabouli salad is great. And if you aren't in the mood for something quite so healthy, go for the chili lime sweet potato fries. Both are amazing finds that I've never seen anywhere else.

    Their craft beers are excellent. I'm having a "Boat & Shoes Hazy IPA 7.2%. Very good. The appetizers and dinner choices are very good.

    Breakfast buffet is like the free breakfast you get at best western or the likes...right down to the make your own pancake machines. They do have omelettes that are made to order though. Nice staff.

    Huge portions of food. Happy hour hummus and flatbread is enough for a meal. I piled a fish and chips on top and now I want to throw up! AWESOME!
