    Went for a date night with my husband. We had been here periodically over the years since we had our first date there. The staff were attentive and welcoming. There was live music by a young lady singing and playing on a keyboard - she was amazing. The food was delicious, the presentation was better than I recalled. They also were running an April special discount that took off a percentage of the bill.

    Ate dinner last night which would be Saturday night. They had a special menu three items for $35. The variety and choices were very good. The food when it was sent to the table was very good. The steak was amazing and the dessert my wife liked a lot I’d recommend this restaurant check it out you will be pleasantly surprised.

    Food was not good today. The lady with me and I could not eat the lunch. She had the tuna melt which was completely dry. I had the 1/2 and 1/2 soup (tomato but tasted like smoke) and grilled cheese ( no taste). However the house potatoes were excellent. We will not go again plus the parking is expensive and it was hard to walk the distance as there was no handicapped parking nearby.

    Enjoyed a delightful birthday lunch dining on the patio. It didn't hurt that the weather was warm in January! Our servers (two!) were attentive and prompt, and even though we didn't mention ahead of time that there was a birthday girl in our midst (that would be me), apparently one of our servers overheard our conversation and surprised us at the end of the meal with a chocolate brownie treat and an incredibly lovely solo rendition of "Feliz Compleaños." As for the food, each dish exceeded expectations: generous portions, fresh and delicious, lovely presentation. And the house soup (Sundried Tomato) is all that and more. Delicious!
