    We had a delightful evening. Cocktails were very, very good. And food was quite good too. Will certainly return. We especially like sitting in the garden for dinner.

    We were visiting my home area where I grew up. We wanted to take our daughter to a nice restaurant in that area so I remembered this restaurant. I knew that decades ago it was a quality restaurant and we weren't disappointed. If you want a place special to eat for any event this is where to go, it can be either formal or casual anything fits in. We loved it. Excellent food and excellent drinks.
