They never disappoint and great for a night out with friends or a dinner for two. Their lunches are fabulous as well, and we take out often to the office. They have a good menu that covers are the bases of American Food without going overboard, and a good selection of wines to compliment the meal.

Our waitress made the evening that much more enjoyable with her helpful meal suggestions and attentive service. I loved the Ceasar salad to start, ahi tuna bowl and lava dessert. My husband was also thrilled with the salad which we shared with lots of fresh parmesan and very tasty dressing. He also very much enjoyed the schnitzel! I wish we lived closer!
