    We waited like half an hour to be served but then our waiter apologised for the waiting and served us very well. The dessert was on the house

    Our recent Sunday graduation meal for my son was uncharacteristically a disappointment - 3 of 8 entrees were significantly under or over cooked, and 1 undercooked entree never was recooked and re-served to our guest. The staff forgot. Subsequently, a slice of the coconut cake had hair in it to make things even worse. Perhaps the place is shorthanded or it's skipping a quality control step in the kitchen/gally before the dishes are presented.

    The service was great (thank you Misty!!) as was the swordfish kabob and filet mignon. The coconut cake was my favorite part and my husband liked his chocolate layer cake.

    Very much enjoyed our dining experience. We were seated upstairs, away from much of the noise, if there was any. Our server was great/gracious, making appropriate wine recommendations and answering our menu questions. Food was delicious. Our party of four enjoyed the Filet, Tuna burger, and Prime meatloaf. The meatloaf was accompanied by a sauce that was “to die for.” We’d go back again if we visit the area in the future.
