    Food and cocktails excellent, relatively quiet atmosphere and a pleasant experience. Easy to make reservations and our booth was immediately ready for us on arrival. Service was very good, our waitress was sweet, helpful, attentive, and very familiar with the menu. Only negative was a longer than usual wait time to serve our entrees.

    Tournedos Oscar was not that good, with much smaller cuts of meat than we are accustomed to at Carvers.

    I ordered a filet mignon and it was tough. Not what I expected for the price I paid.

    If you’re over 80, and have one foot in the grave, you’ll love it. Lost your taste buds-good. How do you ruin a baked potato or mashed potatoes??? They do! It’s as old as it’s patrons, needs refurbished and the menu looked like they stole the from the Remington next door. We didn’t even eat the gruel. Waitress asked if we wanted dessert and we laughed with each other. Do you think it’s green jello? Waitress took so long to process the check, I put cash down on the table and we left. It was a great laugh though. We’ll never go back!
