"Good food, but they were out of one of their specials pretty early for a Sunday. Twin lobsters was a big hit and the steaks and seafood were excellent. Clam chowder is great as is the green goddess salad."

"From the moment I walked in, I was treated like I'd been there before. Its an older place, a little wear and tear but I don't think I'd change a thing. There was a piano player who was obvious but not annoying and over powering the conversations. The steak was prepared perfectly, the house dressing was just right. I'll go back!"

"Have you ever walked into an old beat up Denny’s and thought you might have made a mistake only to be surprised by a great all American breakfast? This place is a bit like that – 30 year old carpet and beat up seating is a bit off putting. That said we had a good meal – no complaints. Wine list is a bit of a joke but adequate. Net is the food is good but not for those seeking a high end 5 star experience. I think the star rating here is a bit over the top."

"Food did not live up to the avg. $28 - 35/per entree price tag. Was overcooked and bland - sides were not good either. The place is a total throwback - very old school and an experience just in itself for the ambiance. Too bad the food didn't cut it as I would have had a different opinion of this place!"
