    Well i am seventy years old, and the Braised Onion reminds me of restaurants of my youth. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is very reminiscent of a bygone era. We started out with a shrimp cocktail with homemade cocktail sauce. It came with 5 large shrimp. They were delicious. My wife had the meatloaf with brown gravy, mashed potatoes, and string beans with bacon. I had the Friday prime rib special with roasted potatoes, asparagus, and au jus. We enjoyed both dishes. Prices were a little higher than I expected, but at my age everything seems to be expensive.

    Braised Onion has a delicious offering having dinnered there a few times. Mostly, it's an intimate gathering place with delicious food and a calm atmosphere including a candle at each table offering a place to take your time and enjoy your visit. It can get noisy if it's a filled dining room so keep that in mind. Also, little ones crying out can be a bit offensive as the intimacy of the setting offers a louder versions of themselves. The waiters are always friendly and accommodating. You won't be disappointed.

    First time there and did the Easter Buffet. The food was fantastic. All homemade like you were sitting and Grandma's table. This was not cheap Easter food. There was hamm, prime rib braised short ribs and more. The dessert were plentiful and tasty. The service was 10+. The service staff all.helped each other and kept filling the drink cups and removing plates. No rushed feeling and was told to relax and take our time. Can't wait to back again. PS found out it is family owned. Support local business.
