    It's been several years since dining here and that's far too long. My wife and I are recently retired so we're revisiting some established spots we frequented when we dated. This is definitely one we'll go back to again. Our server Garrett, was friendly very patient and knowledgable. Both our dinners were absolutely delicious but it's a MUST to start with the (shrimp stuffed mushrooms) appetizer, outstanding! Your dinner choices are numerous and all delicious but pick your favorites and enjoy! We're going back soon to share with friends.
