We came after my daughter’s band concert, around 8ish. I made a reservation just in case and to get my points on OpenTable. We got seated right away at a high top table. Ambiance is nice. There’s a good selection of alcohol from beer, seltzers, wine and other spirits. We all enjoyed our food choices of rigatoni, salmon, spicy shrimp, bbq smoke chicken and impossible burger. I do recommend for family, friends, and work outing.

I’ve been here several times and tried different things. Food is always above average with great flavors. Try the cajun linguine, it’s delicious!

Great manager , wait staff could be better. Beers could be cheaper, no need to overprice local brews.

Chefs special was terribly over fried and not tasty at all. Waitress had an attitude and smelled like cigarettes. Portions were on a cheep side and prices are not worth the taste.

We waited almost 10 minutes after being seated for anyone to acknowledge us. After that, service was great and food was very good.

We have been a regular customer for a long time, but I am sorry to say that the food has not had been as good over the last few times. Tonight, I ordered my burger medium and it came well done. This is not the first time. They also changed their French fries. They are not as good as before. The two items that I still like are the fried chicken sandwich and the grilled cheese. Everything else that I have ordered lately has not been as good as before. We probably will not be eating here as frequently as before.
