    I truly love this restaurant! Great vibes, food is amazing, love that I can get smaller portions on some of the anazing dishes! Braised short rib was amazing, and the truffle stiffed chicken got rave reviews. Capped off with a half-baked choc chip cookie a la mode! Lovely evening!

    It was noisier than I expected. Love the food and the selections. This was the first time for several of my friends and they really enjoyed it. Said they would be back. One of them loved the meatloaf!

    The food was excellent. The service was great. It was a busy Friday night during the holidays and even with a large crowd. We had a great experience.

    Food was good. Service was good. Got home and got sick from my meal. I’d been there several times before, so I think it was just an off night.

    We had a great time celebrating our December family birthdays.....the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. The owner even took some time to make my cousin some bacon jam since it was not on the menu. Great touch we will definitely be back.

    Great food, reasonably priced, but is a bit loud, or we’re unlucky with a rowdy bunch. Parking is limited.
