    Enjoyed a wonderful afternoon theater dinner. The service was excellent, drinks well preferred and a generous pour. The salmon, chicken and turkey burger were presented well, tasty and delicious, as were the sides. This is a welcoming place and a solid value for the area!

    It was so nice to see Felice! Love this Sunday buffet brunch! It’s just “easy like Sunday morning”! The ambience of the Book room coupled with the live music is just “parfait” Nicolas and Halima were so accommodating and welcoming:) We’ll see you in a few weeks!
