Try it…,you will love it! Provides a unique environment with excellent service and food. Easy free parking nearby. We were greeted and informed of the history of the place by a very pleasant and efficient server. This was followed by suggestions regarding food choices and drinks. We shared the amazing empanadas followed by a delicious Caesar salad and for the main entree, we enjoyed a perfectly cooked, juicy, New York Strip steak with crisp green beans and whipped potatoes. Definitely make a reservation!

I was there to meet an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while, the server Levi could not have been more accommodating. The drinks were perfect and the beet salad was again to tasty. I had the pork dish and my friend had the salmon and rice, both plates were empty when the server pick them up ( so good!) always a fun atmosphere.

Underwhelmed. We had been wanting to try this for a while since moving to Sanford. Waited 45 minutes for our lunch and server only came back to the table one time. Ended up asking another server to take our check.

We have season tickets to Westend Theatre and have been doing to JH for dinner before every show and have brought a group. Dylan has always been our server and is one of the best in the business. Beside being a very kind and gentle young man We feel like you are no longer aware that you have competition because nothing ever changes on the menu. There has been a special once in three years. We have had almost every on the menu and after last night- that was enough. In my opinion you all need to up your game or you will not have a loyal repeat customer base.

Our party of 4 had dinner and everything from the food to the service to the ambience was very good. Three of us had the steak mac and it was so good! All of us took home leftovers since it is a large serving. The fourth person had the burger and enjoyed it very much. Definitely worth a visit.
