We love this restaurant!

I can't believe we've lived in this area for so many years and have never tried this place! What a gem! They've been here 20+ years I think but we've never thought to stop in. That's unfortunate of us since they may not be around much longer. Come visit while you can! We had a delicious seafood chowder to begin with and both my husband and I tried the special fish dish....haddock, I think. Everything was so good! Tracy, our server, was excellent! She described each dish so well that I wanted to try everything! It did not disappoint! Go on a day trip to visit! It's worth the drive!

The food was delicious. SHRIMP, CATFISH, CHICKEN DUMPLINGS AND CHICKEN WITH SHRIMP AND ARTICHOKES could not have been any better. Servings are huge, restaurant was 1/2 full and it was nice and quiet. Service was great! Will certainly go back.

Great evening, meal was amazing. Wonderful service. Everything was wonderful.

Waitress is friendly; food and desserts are good too! The flavor more on the light side! However we don’t get any complimentary breads at all!

Our first visit last month was awesome and we were excited to come back. Had a reservation, went last night, table was ready right away, with kids menu and all, great start. Sat for 5+ minutes before waitress came to our table. Took an additional 10+ minutes to get water. She was polite and apologized. Appetizer came out quick. Never got complimentary bread like we were offered our first time. Throughout the night, rarely came to our table to check on us. Ordered a prime ribeye medium rare, it showed up between well done and medium well, waitress acknowledged immediately. Was told because a large group came in, it would take a long time to replace it. I told them I'd just eat it bc I didn't want to wait. She apologized again and said she would see how they could handle it. Then she came back a while later and said manager gave her 2 options. 1. Take the food away and bring another steak. 2. Take the food away and comp it. At this point I had already eaten half the overcooked steak bc I was hungry and didn't want to wait, so I opted for option 2, and then a new steak immediately appeared as she was explaining all this. This steak was cooked between medium and medium well, but I acted like it was fine bc I didn't want to be more of a hassle. Odd thing to me... Why not just comp the steak that was clearly messed up and everyone acknowledged, and then let me finish it, instead of giving me a brand new steak I didn't ask for, that will just go to waste. This review would have been much different, but I guess they just wanted to make up some of the money. Understandable... I guess. Anyways. The service was poor, the $45 steak was overcooked twice, and the management response was just odd, even the waitress thought it was odd (or pretended to help relate to me), but she said that's what she was told. The whole experience was quite a turn off and I don't know that we will be going back again. Bummer! Thought we had found a solid spot.

Can be a bit noisy at times. But a truly great neighborhood restaurant run by a super Family. Always good food, varied menu, good wine selection and a full bar. Darn near heaven. Real asset in the area.

Summary: Our visit was perfect - the food, the service, everything! We will be back!

Tip: Ask for the complimentary bread - it’s amazing!!! highly recommend!!!

Details: Tried the chicken fried steak with a twice baked potato and it was delicious- so good! Also tried the Chicken and Shrimp artichoke and capers dish that was very flavorful and tasty… I would say that it had an italian flare. We tried the mac and cheese-made in house with 9 different cheeses! Very unique flavor and it was good… personally I could pick up on goat cheese ( I think) and that isn’t my favorite, personally but someone else in my group absolutely loved it.

Dessert: the gooey vanilla cake was amazing!! Similar to a blondie. pro-tip: if you like lemon bars… squeeze some fresh lemon on top! ?
