Delightful dinner with a friend; the staff continues to excel, food was excellent and the place continues to exude a warm, friendly neighborhood feel. The front door is still difficult for my wife's wheelchair, but the place is worth the effort, and they promise they'll fix it -- someday. I highly recommend the bread pudding dessert, but save space.

Went to dinner here for our anniversary and the place was lovely and the food was absolutely phenomenal. BUT our server was very inattentive. We took some time to order, which was our fault (there are many wonderful options on the menu). But when we had finished our meal, we sat there for about 15 minutes. The server never came to check on us and and I had to find another server to ask for boxes. I understand if a restaurant is busy, I'm a very patient person, but if you walk past us about 10 times please take the time to glance at all of your tables and notice posture. Once again the restaurant and food was wonderful, but service was poor.

Four couples went for prime rib night. The meat was cooked to order and the sides and desserts were delicious. Our server was pleasant and efficient. We had a great time.

My wife wanted to go here for her birthday. Who am I to say no? We went. The meal was perfect, the service superb, the noise level, well, you can’t have everything. We will go back again.

Took a friend for a birthday dinner. I assured her her portion would allow for another meal. But the tuna was so delicious, there wasn’t a speck left. She’ll be back!!
