    Just dined here last evening with our client from Germany and his local friend. Had asked for a table with a fabulous view (so we could "show off" a little for our guests). They delivered!! Perfect-O!! The food was wonderful! You must try that spectacular bone-in veal chop!! We all enjoyed our meals to the fullest. Hope to go back again sometime soon!! NOTE: My husband and I have been going to this establishment since it was known as "The Summit" (around 1979). It was great even at that time. And, it has only improved since then. Highly recommend it!
