We had dinner at Howard’s last night (8-13). We had a beautiful table over looking the water. Our waitress was great. I wish I had remembered her name but was she was from Romania. We were a party of 4, 3 had the ribeye and 1 the filet. All were cooked perfectly. It was a nice way to celebrate my partners birthday! Thanks again for a nice evening!
What a pleasant surprise. We looked on line and wanted to see this historic site. Sat next the flowing river. Had 2 incredible steak burgers. Our waiter, Sebastian, was a joy. So funny and helpful with the area. He’s a summer student worker from Albania. Really great conversation. Highly recommend this on your vacation stops.
We had a great experience! We were seated immediately, drinks were refilled promptly, food was cooked to perfection. Fried mushrooms were delicious and the ranch was wonderful!
