    Very good service and ambience. I ordered the pork chop which was overcooked but still tasty. Others at the table really enjoyed their food. We'd definitely return.

    First dined here on the recommendation of a friend. Our second experience was also outstanding. Wonderful food, service and ambiance. Will come again. If you are doing dinner and a theater they recommend making reservations a month out. They are fully booked for early dinner.
