This was our first visit so we arrived early for our reservation. We were seated quickly and the restaurant was empty maybe 4 tables of people. We asked to sit in a table by the window and the hostess said those tables where for people with reservations. I explained we too had reservations. She quickly said no and sat us away from the window. Food was really excellent the portions where large. During our entire meal over half of the window tables were not used. So if you want a view I would call or include it in your requests. We would go back for sure but will make that note. The ribeye was excellent and the smoked old fashion is a must try!

It was an authentic local place. I would say the food was not as outstanding as I had expected, but it was good. Not fancy but tasty. It feels like somewhere that would be a place that would grow on you. It reminds me of a place that I went to in the 1970s. Still, friendly people and you won't leave hungry.
