Food was not as good as in the past. Service was good, but long delay between appetizers and main course. Pretty empty restaurant for a Friday evening.

Our waitress was wonderful. The restaurant was full and she never stopped moving and was always gracious. The golden beet salad is delicious. The deep dish pizzas make you eat one slice too many because it’s so good! Nice beer, wine and cocktail selection.
