"I was pleasantly surprise with the quantity and quality of the food. I was very happy with the great service and the overall experience. I would definitely return.
After dinner, I also took the time to go downstairs to the lounge to watch the game and to have a drink."

"The food was good, the service excellent, everyone was friendly, and the menu prices are financially friendly. We had a group of 7 and everyone was very pleased. Parking is the only drawback and we got lucky!"
