"Was expecting more from this restaurant based on other reviews. We are not hard to please. Husband was happy with his soup and salad, but my pizza just did not cut it for me. We were placed in the noisy bar to eat and were not asked where we would like to sit. Experience was just not good for us and don't think we would go back here."

"New chef may be making a differnce in a former gem restaurant that became stale with spotty food quality and so-so service. Our experience was better this time on a quite, not-so-busy night. We tried one of the newer dishes (rock cornish game hen) and were quite pleased."
