We had a small post-communion family lunch here. We really enjoyed the special offering, which included a great assortment of courses and reasonable drinks included. Loved the skirt steak and pizza. Everyone left very full and happy. Service was prompt, professional, and accommodating. Great experience and love the ambiance and decor.
