Fabulous. The food was excellent we all ate every morsel. Winter salad special, don’t miss the disco fries which we shared as an appetizer for 4 people. Scallops were outstanding. Halibut as well. Nice table by fireplace. Attentive service

My husband and I have been here several times and have never been disappointed. We came during the week and it was the perfect ambiance. Our server, Jeanne, was amazing as usual. The Asian calamari is our absolute favorite. If you like wine, don’t forget it’s a BYOB.

The onion soup was fantastic. The corn wedge was amazing. Mashed potatoes were crisp on top but soft and fluffy in the middle. My chicken was cooked perfectly and was moist. My husband's steak was exceptional. We had the warm donuts, and they were very good. I prefer no jelly, but they were warm, fresh, and a perfect ending to our meal. Compliments to the chef and staff for an exceptional meal.
