    3 of us ordered beef stroganoff. Meat was way overcooked and dry I added all the sour cream and still dry. My husband and I won’t come back. Other diner enjoyed the dish but he had never dined there. Food isn’t as good as it was under old owners. Ambiance is best on patio would go there for cocktails

    Been there before when it was not during brunch. Personally did not love the choices for Brunch (just wanted a veggie omelet) and they had other items (eggs) and salads. Should have gotten a salad instead as my veggie omlet was just okay with spinach and mozzarella cheese.

    We have enjoyed brunch here for years. Last Sunday was awful. Huevos Ranchero was so salty it made us sick. SALT IS NOT A SPICE.
