    Ribs were over smoked…outer bark was too tough to eat. Ribs not very meaty…maybe because of being overcooked and partially inedible. One in party had lamb ozo bucco and said it was excellent. Server was most helpful and attentive.

    I was not happy with the food, plating, location, cost. The place felt dingy. My Margherita Flatbread was hard and my son's chicken was not fully cooked. The husband's chicken was overcooked, and the brisket looked warmed over. Never going again!

    Good portions, good value for price. Highly recommend the potato skins to start. One thing I don’t think gets enough attention in their reviews is that this place is GREAT for kids. Extensive kids menu with options they love, a hugely entertaining kids menu/activity booklet. Our server, Erin, was VERY kind and made our daughter feel special.

    Food was good. I ordered the artisan salad with salmon. It was good. My only feedback is there were very few nuts and cranberries and basically no dressing. I was given dressing after I dug through to the center and still found no dressing. I enjoy the fruit and nuts but could not find many in my salad. Probably not my favorite dish anymore.
