"Dined here for the first time - with a party of 11, 7 of which were kids. We were seated at a large table - kids on one side, adults on the other. They had a reasonable kids menu and a great menu/drinks for the adults. We had an excellent time and will definitely be back!!"

"My wife and I had dinner here Sat, Feb 25. We felt that the prices were a little high for the type of restaurant it is. Everything was good, we just felt that the bar being in the same room with the diners and the type of music that was playing didn't fit the type of food they were serving didn't fit well."
