    We went for Easter dinner and were not disappointed. The ham was delicious! And only $17.50 for the platter! We've been there before for the prime rib, which is always excellent, so this was a change for us. We'll definitely come back next year!

    Great dining environment. The lobster bisque soup is really, really good! My Maui Ribeye was a tad bit overdone. Should have ordered it medium rare. Overall a great dining experience. It was my birthday dinner. Bill

    Nice ambiance, fairly quiet, all booths and attent5ive staff. Good menu selection at reasonable prices and the bar was well stocked but limited tap selection. The meals had nice presentation, decent portions and were appropriately seasoned. Overall, a good dining experience.
