    Enjoyed a few items off the happy hour menu, along with a triple C burger split between my boyfriend and myself. Our friend and birthday boy, Tony enjoyed to Bison Bolognese. Deviled eggs were the star of the show!

    It was wonderful, the server was excellent, they checked on us all the time. Wish the may would've come more I had my green on for 5mins and no one came. I never far the chicken legs but I heard it was some and they would send them my easy but did not come. This was my first time here and my man and I was there for our first date and he highly recommended them to me. Didn't get me stuffing the food was excellent and the salad bar was superb. Just wish I had food coming my way when my green is on, since people told me, when it is on they will attack you with food. Thank you.
