Aveen: We usually order olive oil, balsamic vinegar and lemons with the bread so we make our own dip! It's healthier than butter and the best of all it's free! Try it with some black ppr to taste.
Bobby Buechler: To the jag who's complaining about no dogs on the patio - imagine a dog at every other table on the patio and tell me if that's an enjoyable dining experience for those without dogs or are allergic.
Morgan Brown: Try the avocado egg roll appetizer. Amazing.
