This was amazing and worth every cent. Try their Lasagna. I also had prime rib fettuccine. It was a special they had and got a loaf of bread.
Also had a special chip plate. Be a great place to treat your family.
February 2026
The staff was super friendly, inside was a little run down. The food was good, not amazing for the price point, but the family and meal for two deals looked like they'd be worth it and they have specials M-Th. Menu was very American-Italian, I got the lemon rosemary chicken and was happy with it. I would come back if doing one of the deals. The portion sizes were good, but it was just a bit overpriced.
October 2025
We were 20 in our party. Our server , Isabel, did a fantastic job juggling all the different orders and keeping straight single and double couple orders. She remained cheerful and courteous the whole time with a nice sense of humor. The food was excellent. The ribs were soft, tasty and fell off the bone. The salads were fresh. I was very impressed with this restaurant and plan to go again to have the brisket. Thank you
