This chicken souvlaki was great. Char, spice and tender. The rice and salad were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this meal of food. Priced and portioned perfectly. šš„°
Literally so confused because we are locals and come here all the time. For whatever reason today we showed up around 3:30 PM which is typically a slow time and asked to be seated on the porch as itās a warm fall day - the porch was completely empty as was most of the restaurant. We were told to wait and did wait almost 20 minutes. More couples showed up and asked why they were waiting which is just comical. One couple said they were happy to wait even if they just wait at a table and he said a couple minutes. We told the kid we were leaving and he just said āokā - no offer to seat us even though we waited twice as long as he said or explanation as to why thereās a wait at an empty restaurant. Honestly, seat people and give them water. Ridiculous.

2020 -Update from 3 years ago. I asked the waitress if the mashed potatoes were instant and she said no, but she told me other people had complained. So I planned to review today, low and behold the same complaint I had 3 years ago. Definitely instant, what a disappointment when you order tenderloin tips at $17.95, which were good. Kids mac n cheese is frozen, also a shame. I feel like the quality is declining.
2024- ordered a hamburger medium rare. came out medium, was dry. Asked for onion, none, asked for mayo, by the time i got it, was finished eating, disappointing, . 2017 - A little disappointed. Mashed Potatoes tasted instant, I was told they weren't. Fried scallops were soggy and warm when I got them. I suspect they sat under the heat lamp. Tenderloin tips were very good. Service a little slow. Will give them another try though. The clam chowder is very good. Overall good value.

This restaurant used to be a staple of ours. In fact, I still say it has one of the best Chicken Parm of any restaurant. In the last few years though, it has consistently been incrementally dropping in satisfaction and has hit the tipping point of causing an update.
It started years ago when they changed from offering a wonderful basket of Greek bread and dipping oil to two rolls and some butter. Then they started playing around with the plating. Sandwiches on bare metal trays, Chicken Parm and Pene on a wooden plate once, ect.
The other day, what should have been a simple Turkey Club came out as a Turkey Sandwich. Turkey Club... white bread, toasted, layered, cut in quarters. Every place in the world knows how to make it. It's beauty is in its simplicity. It doesn't need to be "fancy". My wife got a Steak and Cheese Sandwich. Another dish every corner Pizza Shop can do relatively well. This was way overly cheesed (didn't know that was possible) with cuts of steak instead of shaved. And small cuts like they went out of their way to dice the steak while it was frozen to then thaw and use.
It seems like every time we go in now and every new dish we try we always end up saying, "It would have been great, except....". It's like they got a new chef who wants to try a new fancy thing or fad but forgets the basics of what made the food great to begin with.
I hope them success because as the Manor (now their function side), it was always special when I ate there. Now their "Excepts..." are killing them like a thousand cuts. Get back to your roots, get the basics right, and please, put a French Dip Sandwich on your menu.

Absolutely loved the place. Fried pickles delicious. I recommend Jameson burger! The service is amazing. Thank you Jessica C for a wonderful service you have provided. 4 stars for atmosphere because there should be some music in the background since itās also a bar. Drinks are great!

The spanakopita was absolutely amazing. The wait staff was lacking because they seemed understaffed but everything we ate was great.
Wheelchair accessibility: While their parking lot isn't wildly accessible, they had a ramp that was actually accessible to wheelchair users.

I only came here to grab a few drinks while setting up for a wedding, but the bartenders were down to earth and made the drinks nice and stiff. No complaints here. ?

Not sure why I havenāt tried this restaurant sooner considering I drive by it every day on my way to work. On the recommendation of someone I finally went here for dinner. It was very very good. I got the āchicken cordon blueā and although it wasnāt a traditional stuffed chicken cordon blue I honestly canāt even complain because IT WAS THAT GOOD. I am a French onion soup connoisseur.. and thereās was honestly in the top two of French onion soups Iāve ever had ā¦. Which says a lot !!! The chicken was super crispy and the sauce served on top was perfection. My husband had the ribs which he thought were very good. Other members of our party had the fish and chips which they said was one of the best they ever had. Will be back ⦠especially for that French onion soup !
