As always this place never disappoints! It was my husband and mine 50th anniversary. We were greeted warmly and taken to our table where there was a happy anniversary sign on it. Then they came out with 2 glasses of champagne. Our first course was a lettuce wedge packed with bacon ! We had the rib eye, done to perfection. Our sides were broccoli rabe and sautéed onions. Everything was just wonderful. It’s our favorite place to go for a quiet and delicious meal.

Don't let the small location fool you, this restaurant packs a BIG punch with food & service. Excellent service all around, from the moment we entered until the time we left. Every dish we ordered was seasoned and cooked to perfection. The owner went above and beyond for Father's Day giving a small gift which was greatly appreciated. Will 100% be returning
