What a nice place as the food was great but even better was the entertainment. The singer and pianist (there was more than one) did a great job entertaining everyone and making everyone enjoy their time. My wife and daughter were singing and rocking in their seats. Well worth a visit as a local gem.

The ambiance was great, live music singing etc. Waiter didn't bring plates or serving spoons for appetizers. Ordered grey goose on the rocks, it came with coke & grey goose, sent back. The eggplant app with honey was cold and had little honey. The clams in sauce & garlic was fantastic, dunk the bread, nothing better than that. All in all a fun night.
