"I've been twice now for lunch and dinner. Both meals were very good. I had the pork chop for dinner which was excellent. They have a good bar with many choices. The atmosphere is hip but feels old. The large booths are great for large parties and are comfortable.
I will be going back."

"Used to like this place but seems to have lost it's charm with me. I was on a diet so ordered the Tuscan Steak salad. This used to have plenty og slices of nice rare steak but tonight it was just a small amount of little pieces of meat- not with much flavor and augmented by grilled mushrooms that you thought was beef until you bit into it. I recall needing a doggie bag in the past but I. Left hungry, went home and had a protein bar! Hubby had roasted chicken wings which were fine. Service was fine too, but sort of noisy due to large parties nearby. Maybe pizza and pasta entrees still good but they are skimping on the salads. Won't go back unless I am off my diet."

"I had a reservation and still had to stand waiting a half hour when there where empty tables being held for those who had earlier reservations but did not show up
If someone is late for there reservation and someone is on time why should the on time party have to wait to see of the earlier reservation showed up before they could sit per the hostess."
