    Overall it was a good dinner. The only thing is I had the short rib and it was a little dry. They serve it with mash potatoes which I don’t care for. I would recommend serving it with a risotto or a rice of some kind as an alternative. It could have used a little more sauce because it was dry. But it wasn’t too bad. I did eat it. My hubby had the prime rib it was very good. The broccoli soup was also very nice. Service was excellent! I would go back again.

    The food here was absolutely delicious!!! And the service was great. I went here before on Mother’s Day and it was a disaster but I gave them grace because that’s a very busy day and the owner did a wonderful job of accommodating us for the inconvenience. Glad I tried them out again. It was less people and it was a great dining experience. The wine selections are great as well and they ship to other states in case you’re from out of town and want to take some bottles with you!

    This visit we enjoyed turkey sandwiches - one with Croissant, one with tortilla wrap. Both were delicious and something we would order again. Onion rings were superb, cooked perfectly, not too crunchy, easy on the mouth! Jacob provided friendly service and the view from our window seat was fabulous! Well be back soon!
