    Our meals were really good. We had some flatbreads, salads (huge) and hot sandwiches. The service was great. We sat outside under heaters and enjoyed the holiday decorations and a huge, glorious Christmas tree. Fantastic night.

    This is a throwback to the 1960’s, when the Rat Pack played here. Within an old hotel, we were warmly greeted upon entering and shown to our table. The waitress was attentive and graciously fulfilled our requests for putting cheese on the side and swapping a vegetable from one meal to another. The food was delicious! Wasn’t expecting that. We saw a show with Rose headlining. She has a pleasant voice and even more pleasant personality. We stayed to the very end. Thank you, we really enjoyed the experience.

    Festive evening with friends. Food was great! Drinks super… the bartender knew his craft. Service was perfect. They let us enjoy our evening and never felt rushed. Fun staff. We go here often for a casual bite, but last night they upped their game.

    What could be better than Drag Bingo on Monday night? We arrived early, and the staff gave us the lowdown and what to expect! Friendly staff and accommodating. Bingo was the bonus and kept everyone entertained while meals and drinks were served. I enjoyed the Monday night chicken special and my wife had the loaded soup. I was lucky enough to wine bingo twice so desserts were on the house. Overall, a fun spot for visitors and locals alike. Would make a return trip.
