    Always an excellent choice when we’re in town. Wish New Year’s Eve atmosphere was more lively. Don’t know if the 3.5hr drive to spend New Year’s Eve there was worth it but at least the food and wine were great.

    Our drinks and apps were good however our entrees were disappointing. The chicken was boiled and tasted as horribly as it looked. I got a Caesar salad with blackened shrimp. The salad had too much dressing and the shrimp was too salty.

    We were seated right away and ask for a quiet area window seat it was perfect. The service was excellent the food and drinks were perfect. We weren’t rushed they made it a pleasant experience. We will go back during the year and next New Years. Thank you to everyone that worked there that night.

    I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 15 years, we’re usually never disappointed. Brought my sister for the first time, had Manny s as our waiter. He made us feel so uncomfortable that my sister said she’d never go there again! We told her this was the first time the waitstaff was bad but first impressions are everything! Think he needs some training on how to be a server!
