The food was great, the portions were huge, and the ambiance was lovely. The salads were crisp and fresh, with delicious homemade dressings. Their schnitzels were too big for the plates, and the mushroom gravy was especially good.
Had dinner here for the first time. The schnitzel was DELICIOUS. One of the best I’ve had. The sides also were scrumptious and the sangria was delish. The service was excellent. We sat outside and had a wonderful evening.
Came in for lunch one day on a whim and it was fantastic. Can’t wait to go back for dinner.

Their monthly specials are absolutely delicious. I am always excited to try something new and they never disappoint me. The seared yellowfin tuna I had last night was delectable! Heavenly even! Mmmm will be back again soon.
