"Had a table with 4, the french onion soup was fair, but the steaks,chicken salad and sides were far above average.I took 4 out with drinks for $104.00. Great deal for the bucks"

"Service was extremely bad. Forgot our appetizer and did not bring any bread to the table, when alot of people around us had. Then tried to bring out our appetizer after our meals arrived. Did not bring our sides either. Food is overpriced for what you get. Very noisy. All in all a bad experience. It was my anniversary as well. Bad choice."

"Food was extremely disapointing. Onion soup tasted like it came out of a can. Pork tenderloin was a hockey puck. Only two desserts to choose from. Our waitress was nowhere to be found for most of the evening."

"We had outstanding service and it made the whole night great. The food was very delicious, hot when delivered, and we definitely enjoyed it. The only downside is there was a large party there that was rather loud and kept laughing the whole time. I think they should of told the group they should of requested one of the party rooms instead of putting them out in the dining room, but overall the service and food was great!"

"The food was very good...ambiance was good as well. Our server, whether he was new or just didn't sleep well the night before, was a little brash for the mid-day...wasn't available as often as he should have been, and the worst part was, even though we were seated at a booth/table, he handed the two of us in the booth our to go containers over the two others seated in the chairs across from us...how rude! Yet those who brought out our food, were perfect!"
