Carla was the perfect waitress. Big smile, spoke clearly and eloquently( husband has a hearing loss so this is something we notice) Food was wonderful,

Great views. Too bad they no longer validate parking.

Dining in a good mood is as important as tasty food and the restaurant does have a good view and atmosphere when dining inside. I think the food was not impressed but with the location and the ambience of the restaurant, it is still worth a try

Cocktail served in a warm glass so ice melted and diluted drink. Appetizers tasteless. If you want fish I'd go to Johnny's. However can't deny the terrific view and friendly service if you sit outside

Most everything was great, but my baked potato was dry and old. The outside was tough and leathery. We had the special banana chocolate bread pudding. The outside was dry and hard. They added a bunch of whip cream. Just not the best for the price we paid. The prime rib was good. I recommend the shrimp artichoke it was a good appetizer. The crab cakes were good but rather pricey for 2 cakes.

I've only been here twice, once upstairs, bar and casual dining and once downstairs, a more formal dining room. The food was delicious both times I dined here, however my husband has eaten here many times throughout the years.
