Everything was superb, from the cocktails, French onion soup to our entrees. Our server, Vera was outstanding. My better half had the filet, it was perfect. I had thr rack of lamb, scrumptious. A perfect Valentine dinner. Cheers

For the price you pay, the service of EVERY hostess and WAIT STAFF needs evaluating. Some are extremely kind, quick to respond and attentive, others unattentive, Luke warm, and slow. Would love to experience consistency of service because I love dining in place..

Overall, the food was really good. I did however feel that the menu was a bit boring. No vegetables with the entree unless you choose the salad over soup and your choice of potato. The baked potato was a bit dry, up charge for hash browns even though it’s an option. Nothing special about the building inside or out. May or may not return.
