    The atmosphere of the restaurant is great. The food was mediocre--we had the meatloaf and the salmon. The meatloaf had a gravy and it was very dense, making it more like a chopped steak or salisbury steak. The salmon was good, but it was drowning in sauce and there was no potato or vegetable side. The banana bread pudding was the start of the meal.

    Service a bit slow but probably because they were really busy. Menu changed and surprised they took off the veggie burger. Fried chicken is awesome. Great neighborhood spot

    While the food was very good, the service was horrible. The waiter was not paying attention to our table; slowest service and on top of everything, served us the wrong dessert and then reserved it to the correct table! He stood over us when paying the bill and complained about our tip, which made for an unpleasant evening. Additionally, the restaurant was so loud we couldn’t hear each other if we talked at a normal voice level! We did mention this to someone and all they said was “Sorry.” We may or may not return!

    We had friends in from out of town and wanted to bring them for a great dinner. Not sure what the deal was on Saturday- it was a disaster. I never send food back- but my friend and I did 2 times that night! The steak was just terrible

    The food was good. The waiter was excellent. We were disappointed that they took the veggie burger and the whitefish off the menu.
