    The restaurant was at best fine however when you are charging $32 for a burger , $75 for a steak and $24 for a cocktail, you have to provide the premium taste, ambience and service level to match. I am not certain how often if ever the proprietor is on premises but I assume he would not have been impressed by the myriad of serving staff that gingerly stepped over and around a gentleman’s coat that had fallen on the floor for the 14 minutes it took for the patron to realize the situation. Save your money for someone that earns the prices they are charging.

    Really nice spot and the service was really good, waiter very friendly! The starters were delicious. Two of our party had the shaved prime rib sandwiches which were okay. I had the chicken cob salad which was also just okay. Prices are quite high for what you are getting and I really want this place to succeed!
