Great service, great atmosphere, and more importantly great food! Loved the service and even ended up having light fun conversation with the waitstaff and fellow patrons while listening to good live music. With current inflation prices, this is a restaurant where the cost is true value for money.

Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!
