We found the staff of Martell's to be exceptionally friendly, especially our server - Cathy - who was great and also wearing a fabulous hat! (Service Rating: 8) The dining area was nice and had a great view overlooking a pond and trees - and a very nice outside patio to dine on when the weather warms up! The waitress split our bottle of wine 5 ways on our bills, which was very nice. The prices were good considering the quality of the food. We went on a Sunday evening, so it was not very busy and we did not have to wait to be seated. The manager even came over to take our picture to put on Martell's Facebook page because they loved that we were having so much fun!
Overall Ratings:
Amber - 7.5
Lindsey - 7.5

Ray - 7
Sophie - 7.5
