The food was absolutely 5☆☆☆☆☆ in freshness, flavor, portions, and presentation. Beautiful plating. The staff cheerfully appropriately accomodated my dietary request for no meat, dairy, oyster or fish sauce, and gluten free. High quality clean restaurant at very reasonable prices. In downtown McHenry with ample parking.

Come here often in the summer and tonight had great service from Abby. She was very attentive and brought our dogs water as soon as we sat down! Food is always great and lots of gluten free options.

Note we didn't get pizza. Their fries both regular & waffle have a coating so they are not gluten free. Boo for me. Got the grilled chicken sandwich no bun. It was decent. My MIL got the chopped salad, no meat in it, was soggy. Husband had chicken fingers & fries, said they were ok. Waitress only checked on us as we were eating last bites . It was also very loud inside but wasn't super busy. If that bothers you we suggest sitting outside if possible.
