The meal here was pretty good and our server, Lucas, was a notch next to perfection. He helped with questions we all had. He made sure our drinks never got low, and all with a great attitude.The foods we're all good for the most part, just salt on fries was way too much. Our friends enjoyed their meals. My burger was a bit short of the mark, as they could not make it how I wanted it done. We might go back for another take of the menu.The desserts were delicious and topped off the meal.Parking: Stay away from the pigs in a blanket, as just smoked sausage wrapped in crust, but greasy sausage.

Our 1st time there...Lukas was very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. We started with the Santa Fe egg roll appetizer which was okaaa. For mains I had the chimichurri steak which was very tender & juicy and my bf totally devoured the shrimp jambalaya special. After we both enjoyed a couple of coffees with gelato, which were creamy & tasted homemade. I had pistachio and he had mint avalanche. Yum! A tiny tad more $$ than we expected but we will definitely be back to try a few more dishes.

Our local go to restaurant. The best gluten free flatbread I've ever had. There are several gf choices on the menu. The regular menu is outstanding too from what my fellow diners tell me.

The warm farmers salad/bowl is phenomenal. We also love the kids chicken finger meal with side dish & drink. Their table bread with butter is to die for. Great atmosphere in a small village setting with easy parking & safe area.

This is definitely a place for the older crowd. Food is very traditional but there is a limited kids menu. Our server was great and I felt badly he had to hustle up and down the stairs constantly to handle all of his tables. Filet is odd here it is super thin, like a medallion rather than a traditional cut. Nothing special about the food, but a nice location and feel to the place.

Tried and true go to place to take all my out of town guests. I've tried many entrees and appetizers and food is excellent and elegantly prepared. Service is friendly and unassuming.

I had the pork chop cooked medium well with broccolini. The chop was moist and flavorful with an apple/raisin sauce. Very good. Broccolini was fresh and crisp. I also had the Red Head cocktail; much like a Cosmopolitan. Very good with just enough vodka. Topped it off with brownie sundae. Definitely will be back. Highly recommended.

Barely average food from a total piece of garbage owner. The servers were decent. It's too bad the owner talks down to them in front of the customers.

This was our go-to for years and years. Their matchstick fries were mind altering and the quality of the food is always great.

There is the regular menu and always a special, such as for St. Pat's Day. Have not been disappointed yet. Been coming to this restaurant for over a year. The food and service have always been very good.
