    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.

    Once again the most delightful evening! The service by Tom and the dinner served was outstanding. The cocktails including the Maple Old Fashion, skinny margarita, Cosmo and special lemonade were delicious. The sashimi nachos and caesar salad were excellent starters. The homemade bolognese awesome, the swordfish perfectly prepared. And desert and coffee ended a perfect experience.

    Tom did an amazing job keeping pace with us even as people arrived at our table sporadically over the space of an hour. Given it was a beautiful night to eat out side, the patio was packed and very busy, but Tom kept up with everything perfectly and ensured that all 6 of us were well taken care of all evening. It was especially nice to have Sherman and the Bonfire playing as that added so much to the ambience. It would be great to have them back again as soon as possible.
