    We had two starters to share; broccolini and the focaccia bread. Both were excellent and generous portions! Entree was the scallops and the tomato soup. Both were delicious. The service is exceptional. We will be back!

    The food was delicious and the ambience of the place was calm and relaxing. A great place for a weekend dinner if you are visiting from out of town. The service was impeccable thanks to Rob Rose, their very welcoming general manager.

    Bar-B-Q and bourbon dinner! Learning about the differences of the whiskey and bourbons was educational. Also the Bar-B-Q ribs were outstanding. Side servings were also delicious! All in all it was a great dinner with friendly people. The presentation was put on by some well educated individuals who were into having fun with the group. Job well done by the staff as well as the cook! Thank you for a fun time!
