The service was great and they had a band that was excellent. The atmosphere was fun, which really made up for the deficiencies. Based on the other reviews on here, maybe it was just a bad night. They were out of the Prime rib special and I was offered the rib eye, I ordered it cooked medium and it was cooked well over well done and had no flavor at all, but the vegetables were good. The other people in the group ordered prime rib sandwich and the fish. A French dip was served and was very salty, the fries were very good. The fish was 3 small pieces and they were all over cooked. Another customer even stopped to ask how the steak was and said that someone at their table got the fish and it was horrible.We didn't complain or send anything back, the atmosphere was really fun, the band and drinks were good.

Very nice place near by our house but they will charge you extra for just using card. The price of the foods is decent. They should let people know that they will charge you extra if you use credit card. Otherwise, people can pay with cash. We love to support local but not when the charge you 2-3 dollars just for using card. We can go to chili's and get better deals and they won't charge you for using card.

It gets 3 stars because it adds a fee for using a credit card. This was not told when we sat down. Their prices are more then on the website, which is understandable, but that is what prices are for, covering the cost of doing business.

We stopped in for a drink while we waited for test results for our pup who was across the street at VCA Vet Hospital. We needed a place to chill for about an hour. The small bar had quite a few customers, but we found two empty seats. We were immediately greeted by the bartender, who was friendly and welcoming. We ordered a couple of glasses of wine. The wine was good and reasonably priced (reverse sticker shock here). Definitely a neighborhood bar feel, with bartenders who are happy to engage in a bit of small talk. We will definitely come back for happy hour, a meal and some live music.

The two of us shared a 12 oz. steak and loaded potatoe plate with an added side salad and satisfying bowl of soup. Plenty of food for a heavy eater me and a very light eater. Steak came as requested; a true medium rare. No grizzle and only an ounce or so of fat. Start of lunch crowd so no delays in service. Nice quite meal with view over a small open patio. Some confusion on current hours.

The place has a pretty nice feel for the area and very nice workers. They got to my table almost immediately and took my order. The food did not take very long either and it was pretty good. I had always wanted to go here and I am glad I did!

Worse service ever !!! We waited for 1/2 hour for our food , the server took our order gave us our rolls and water. The next waitress gave us our bill and we never recieved our food . She asked us if we wanted dessert. Will never come here again. Poor communication among the staff . We walked out.

Prices very reasonable, lots of locals that frequent the place. Good indication that it's a place to check out!Separate checks for the group was very nice!To charge a fee for using a credit card, not too happy about that but understand that cards cost the merchant to process.

Friday night at this restaurant is really hopping with a live band and lots of partying folks...! We had a group of 12 and the staff was really overwhelmed by the volume of people overall and perhaps had one too many servers trying to service our group. Orders were incorrect ~ eg. gal ordered burger with salad and got fries; slow ~ drinks took so long, most folks went to the bar to fetch their own; and the prepaid gratuities were an unbelievable 33 - 40 %...!!! My total bill was $9.00 w/12 % (??) tax added ~ gratuity was $3.00...!! Folks who paid by credit card were charged an additional fee to use their cards ~ percentages varied. They seemed to think no one would check the final balance they signed for...!! My drink order (at the bar) was a Sea Breeze ~ simple: vodka, grapefruit juice & cranberry juice ~ it came in a small, PLASTIC glass, made with orange juice, for $10...!!! Since I was not opening a tab, I was practically ignored by the two bar tenders...(???) Apparently they don't offer a happy hour any longer (we were there at 5:30 PM) My usual order of calamari was excellent..! Requested a bit more sauce than what came in my tiny PLASTIC cup and never saw it at all...!! I will go back if my group has another TGIF there.... definitely ordering beer in a bottle ($ 7 - $8, I'm told) at the bar and requesting extra sauce at time of ordering..!! Also recommend ALWAYS pay in cash here after checking the bill carefully for any discrepancies.
