“Great place. I’ll have to make it a point to work it into the calendar more. Beer was excellent. 24 different beers on tap I believe. Burger was great - big and delicious and my wife enjoyed her wrap. Bonus points for the King Diamond and Rob Halford photos on the wall. I didn’t get to check out all the prints. Cool spot. We’ll be back.“

“Cannot thank the staff, especially Debbie, Cheryl, and Christine for their amazing efforts in coordinating a dinner at Gaetano's following a funeral for our treasured family member. We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. We received many positive compliments from our family and friends. We could not have picked a better spot to gather. We are so grateful for the comfortable, supportive and positive experience we had during such a difficult time we were all going through.“

I had lobster taco which was pretty good, it could of been a bit more seasoned, but overall i enjoyed my meal. The cost is somewhat on the pricey side. I would definitely go back.“

Chris's Restaurant Bar • $

“Really nice bar! The owner is very cool and nice, drinks always come out perfect! Bartenders are also very nice and kind and are very interactive with their customers, some people like the silence, others love to chat, theres a pool table, darts and tv to watch while you unwind from a hard days work!They also serve food during the daytime hours, although i havent been here yet during the day to try for myself, ive heard really good reviews from the locals!I would much rather support any small mom and pop businesses before any large chains, plus, the drinks here are much quicker than at sliders or any other large restaurant or bar!Oh!! Also!! They have a modern style digital jukebox where you can dial it just the right tunes instead of listening to whats over the big chain speakers. Throw it back and listen to the nostalgia of your childhood or tune in to the top songs of the year, they have a full range of varieties!“
