Staff are excellent Meatballs could use a touch of salt, beets are beautiful and delicious, steak is fine, fries are excellent (slightly crunch outside, soft inside). Half chicken was very tart - too much lemon. Baileys came with ice but was whisked away and brought back neat (probably my fault for over complicating the request - “no ice” would have sufficed).

Pork chops were gone which changed the option for three of us. One ordered chicken which was not impressive or as expected. Alternate choices of salmon and burgers were fantastic and the service was awesome

Food was good but not hot except for the pizza. Meatballs were tasty but almost cold. When restaurant filled up, noise level was almost intolerable. Wait staff was friendly.

The caesar salad with shrimp was under-dressed and the shrimp were over cooked and bland. Would not order again!
