Step back in time to when going out for dinner meant something really special.

    Very cold inside, which made the food get cold. Even other patrons commented on the temperature as they entered the dining area. The food had no seasoning. It was bland like hospital food. Nice place though.

    Great food but poor service. Our server was not attentive, drinks were left empty, very slow to clear plates and get our entrees in. Also, forgot to ring in an entree so one of our guests did not have her plate for 10 minutes and everyone else waited to eat so not ideal. Server did not check on us regularly and when we asked for help he said he would come back to our table. They did accommodate our allergies and the food was delicious. Kitchen was great as well. They were visibly frustrated with the server too.
