Came for a get together yesterday afternoon. What a lovely day for the patio. We enjoyed our time. Only comment to note is the green salad changed and I think I like the old one better. The new one was ok just seemed plainer.

We went for Wine Wednesday, and enjoyed a great bottle of wine plus delicious appetizers. The brussels sprouts were probably the best I've had, and the calamari was really tender. It was perfect for a date night, and more affordable because of the half price bottles of wine. Our server was attentive and the general manager gave us great suggestions for food and dessert.
