"Our food was absolutely delicious! My husband, 2 children (11 and 14) and myself each raved about how good our dinner was and we each ordered something completely different. I rated the service as good only because we've had on more than one occassion when eating outdoors takes a long time for service. We started our evening outside but then decided to move indoors because it was getting cool. Our servers were very accommodating but it took a long time to get even our drinks. Overall, highly recommend this gem of a place:)"

"3 OF 4 DINERS HAD THE PRIME RIB SPECIAL. NOT THAT SPECIAL AS PRICES WERE about $30 per dinner. Prime rib had nice flavor but generally too chewy and I have had more tender prime rib dinners elsewhere for about half the cost. I did not like not having a choice of potato (you get mashed only) and everything presented on 1 small plate along with the veggie of the day which was green beans and carrots . Service was good but not overly friendly. Salads and dressings (homemade) were above average- ."

"Went there for brunch. Very good quality of food but not a lot of choices. They offered an omelet station, egg strata, bacon, sausage, pancakes with strawberries, incredible seafood Normandy, rice pilaf (not technically a pilaf since it was white rice with carrots and peas), a cold salad that was maybe couscous or wild rice that had a sweet flavor. Also had an assortment of pastries.
Very good food however there was no beef choice nor was there a variety of bakery...not one chocolate item, mainly mini-cheesecakes, banana cupcakes with frosting, Danish, and kringle.
I would go there again for brunch and hope they maybe there had a beef item and a chocolate dessert."

"Nice bar area but had not planned to spend so much time at the bar. Had a reservation. Arrived approximately ten minutes early. Was seated 50 minutes after our reserved time.
Had the prime rib which was very good. My husband received the wrong potatoes with his order which we just let go. However, we would both always prefer to have a baked potato which I believe is not ever available.
Food service was fast. Main course arrived when we were about half finished with our salads.

"Had reservations for 6:30p. got to the restaurant at 6:15p. Had a cocktail at the bar. Did not get seated till almost 7p. It was Valentine's Day weekend, which may have contributed to the wait. Food was worth it."

"My bartender gave me (2) beers that he tipped over to try and make up for the (1) that I ordered. That left me with (2) bad tasting beers. That wasn't the coolest move.(Which I did not drink) Especially when the beers are priced rather high. Otherwise our dinning experience was good."

"We had reservations at 7 and all the specials were gone and some other items on the menu where also gone. There were only 2 pieces of cheesecake left also. Food was average. Service was slow but our waitress was very friendly. I think they were understaffed. I liked the atmosphere."
