We had some drinks at the bar while we waited which were great. Then we were accommodated in a lovely wine room which was perfect for conversation. Food was great we had some guests that were vegetarian others only fish so the menu was great for everyone. Our server JoJo was very kind and attentive to all of our needs. Everyone had a great time and we will certainly be back!

I have been frequenting this restaurant for about 15 years (it was 'The Grape' originally). While the prices have increased, it is still a good value - quality of food, great service. In fact, today, I was so impressed with our server, Lilly, that I commended her to the manager. She was a delight - so pleasant, attentive, didn't rush us and very upbeat. Having a wonderful server, like Lilly, really makes for an outstanding dining experience.
