    I wish I could remember our servers name because she was fantastic! Food here never disappoints! Love the outside seating and the acoustic guitar player. It was a perfect level of music that didn’t overwhelm a conversation.

    I ordered the Salmon dish and it was too sweet the sauce on it and the brussels sprouts were not cooked. They were hard. For the cost of the entree the price wasn’t worth it.

    Overall it was fairly good I had the scallop special and the scallops were a little overcooked but the risotto was good. The other dinners for the other guys were good as well.

    Asked for a medium burger. Got it well done. Dry, and crispy. Only ate 1/4 of it. Got it on ciabatta which was great . Got onion rings as a side. So greasy, it dripped out of the breading. Ate 1/2 of one ring. Husband’s omelet was extremely greasy as well. Potato’s were different and tasty. They didn’t take anything off the bill even though it was obvious I didn’t eat it. The waitress asked how it was and I told her. My drinks were excellent. We will give them another try.
