    Waiter weren’t very friendly and did not greet us with a hello. They just go straight into taking your order. The establishment may need to seek giving the waiters more assistance. They have to wait the tables, take order, run the bar, bust the tables and run the food. That is too much and jeopardize the overall experience for the customer.

    My husband &I both had strip steaks but with different flavors…We gobbled them up ! Yum! Beet salad delicious but the calamari was salty! You can’t go wrong eating here! We sat upstairs first time - love it! We watched the snowstorm from within…
