in the last weekWe walked in late with a huge party already seated......No one asked if we were going to eat or greeted us. Servers walked by many times at least 3 servers 5 times......NEVER will I be back. Huge disappointment.......Came from out of town.

a week agoExcellent restaurant. We like it so much my wife got a T-shirt! We both had the chicken with mashed potatoes, vegetables, a salad and soup. Sure glad we went here instead of the one of the chains.

a week agoWe are in town for one night and decided to go here. If we ever come back to town this will be the only place we go, we won’t bother with anywhere else. The food is delicious and the service is easily some of the best that we’ve ever had, the only comparable service we can think of are $100 a person meals.
