"We've always enjoyed the food here in the past but because of it's distant location, it's been a long time since our last visit. On this visit we were disappointed. My wife and I both ordered different veal dishes and we found that the veal was not tender. I ordered a stuffed breaded veal chop with an anchovy sauce. It would have been a great dish if the veal was tender. With two dinners, two glasses of house wine, two sodas, two coffees, and a shared desert, the bill came to $93 without tip. It should be noted that there was an upcharge for blue cheese dressing on my salad and I was charged for my second soda. Free refills are standard in this area."

"I really enjoyed the food, however for the price ánd the type of resturant the bar was very load. I couldn't have a conversation with my husband. The waiter was good in the begining of the meal, he did get pre occupied with another table, we had to ask for the rest of our to go food, he only brought out our desert. The was a bit of a wait in between thwarting waiter bringing food And follow up."
