                                                                I ordered the veal piccata which was very good, especially w/the shitake mushrooms and superb sauce over capellini. My wife had the chicken franchaise which was also very good - light and the sauce was buttery also over capellini. A third person ordered the rib eye steak and was very disappointed. It was tough and not easy to cut. Would not suggest that for an entree. He had the roasted pepper soup as an appetizer which was very good and not too spicy. My wife and I shared the Salad Mista which had a nice combo of lettuce, peppers, mushrooms and a very good house made dressing. We always order that when we dine there. They also offer a great pesto dipping sauce for their tastey bread. A win-win.

We were seated outside on the porch and it was a beautiful night. We ordered appetizers our entrées and brought our own wine. I thought we would bring some home with us but it was so good we ate it all right then. Can’t wait till next summer to come back and eat here again.
