    We enjoyed celebrating our anniversary here. Service was good and the food was amazing. I had the chicken with sun dried tomatoes and rice pilaf. It looked like chicken parmigiana and I was disappointed but it tasted nothing like chicken parmigiana. The cheese, prosciutto, sun dried tomatoes and chicken were an amazing combination! The serving was plentiful too. My husband ordered the 16oz ribeye and onion rings and both were delicious. The ribeye was so tender and the onion rings were tempura style, so good! We had complimentary dessert of 1/2 slice of mud pie and it was good too. Our 40th anniversary celebration dinner will be a treasured memory.

    Wonderful dining experience. The service from start to finish was first rate. We came for our anniversary and had a wonderful meal. The shrimp cocktail had the largest tiger prawns I’ve ever seen. Beautifully cooked boneless ribeye and an extensive wine collection.
