Had lunch here last week. The service was great. Joyce, one of the waitresses was very attentive to our requests. She was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was excellent and the restaurant is a really nice place to have a meal. The menu is varied and prices are reasonable. Planning on going again soon.

Our service was great the filet was not the best cut of meat but it was cooked right, and for the price overall we were satisfied. I wish local leadership would redesign the entry to the restaurant as well as waiting area its not optimal.
