    Great service. Very large salads. Sushi was interesting. Ruby roll had steak and lobster in it which we’ve never seen. The chili rub accompaniment “sauce” for the steak was a new one too and excellent.

    Our waitress was very personable and accommodating. The fried chicken had a crispy coating and tender. The collard greens had good flavor, but very spicy. The penne with cheese sauce needed more seasoning. Will definitely return to try a different entree.

    Our party of 4 dined in a large booth adjacent to the bar. I expected it to be noisy but was pleasantly impressed with our ability to carry on a conversation. Our table service was top notch for this type of restaurant although the drinks were increasingly slow from the bar as the evening drew on. Our server was attentive but not pushy as we lingered over dinner. We started with the baked Brie appetizer and practically scraped the plate, it was so good. Three of us ordered the steak frites which was perfect! Small enough not to overwhelm our stomachs but flavorful and filling. The fourth person ordered the hot bacon salad which was a good portion for dinner and fresh and flavorful. We did not order dessert because we were well satisfied. Overall I started off skeptical and was impressed enough that we will return.
