Country Potatoes were excellent. Sunny side up eggs were okay and steak was very bland with plenty of fat meat. $35 for the meal, outrageous. Service was decent. If you love bland steak this is your place, not coming back.

The salad was really good. Then the steak dinner came out. Looked very appealing, great plating. Then the bite. It was very bland. No flavor at all. However the fried shrimp, and sauteed shrimp was pretty delicious. Mashed potatoes and gravy were also bland with 0 flavor. $85 for 2 steak dinners that was a bust. Very friendly staff, and great atmosphere though.

The food was exceptional - especially for the price. Freshly made and very tasty. Awesome Lentil soup. Meatloaf was awesome. Cocktail was very refreshing. Prices were very reasonable. Waitress was attentive and Chef cared about what you thought of the fish you ordered. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area. Just off the I-5 Frwy if you are just passing through.

“Excellent experience—BBQ brisket was outstanding and the service was fantastic. It felt like visiting old friends.”

I'm not sure if it was a waitress issue or a kitchen issue, but I ordered capellini with tomatoes and the first dish I was brought was spaghetti with meat sauce. I sent it back. The second dish I was brought was linguine with red sauce. I gave up and just ate it. It's a shame because that capellini dish that's actually on their menu is delicious.

Find somewhere else to eat. Food is nasty

Food was amazing! We ordered the capellini pasta, pesto pasta, and the spicy chicken sandwich — everything was packed with flavor. The fries were perfectly crispy and super tasty. Great stop right off the I-5 — definitely worth it!

Very cozy retro restaurant with friendly service.
