The food was excellent, loved the mushroom soup! Service was great as well, Kevin is very attentive. Only complaint was that the food came out too quickly. We weren’t quite finished our appetizers when the main course was delivered. We like dinner served a bit more leisurely. Other than that, fantastic. Will be back.

We went for lunch. Service and seating was good. However the quality of my food wasn’t as good as in the past. I used to look forward to the burger. This burger was pretty tasteless. Not worth $25. I noticed they’re no longer listing a farm for the beef, so maybe cost cutting hit beef purchasing.
