Great environment and service! Staff was very friendly and food was great! We loved it! Was nice to dine in such a historic establishment in the city and have it not cost a fortune! Can’t wait to come back!
We’ve been coming here for over 35 years and love it. Always friendly and lively!
Great beer, even better grilled cheese.
