Today, friendly service, fine casual cuisine, and comfortable atmosphere combine for a rustic yet upscale dinin

    This without a doubt the best prefix brunch we’ve ever had. Everything was perfect. Service people were always attentive and the food was impeccable. Large portions and everything was cooked to perfection. With a party of four we ended up with 5 to go boxes. We will definitely be back next year. Can’t wait to see what they do for Father’s Day.

    We had a wonderful 4 course Mother’s Day celebration which included mimosas. The food presentation was beautiful and the portions were perfect. The service was spot on. The price was reasonable. I recommend this establishment frequently to visitors because of the ambiance, food and service. It’s always a wonderful experience.

    I requested a server 20 minutes after being seated at our dining table without any service. I was served less than warm filet mignon steaks twice, then a warm filet on the third presentation and it was the toughest filet mignon I have ever been served.

    An outstanding Mother’s Day event -from the food to the services- only problem was parking- which is not easy to fix given the space on site.

    We had one of the waitresses from another table give someone in our party a hard time because of where they were seated. We all picked up the table and slid it so the waitress would stop. It would have been better if the waitress had helped with the situation instead of just complaining to the guest.
