We love coming here for dinner before going to the theater. We're always greeted by name, shown to a nice booth, and given good service, always out on time. The pizza, salad, and mushroom ravioli are our favorites. Prices are quite reasonable.

I discovered that Wednesday's special is steak and lobster for half the menu price. The food was cooked perfectly, and the service was great.
