Visited for the first time last week and came away a little unimpressed. Our waitress was friendly and attentive but my chicken was dry and not very flavorful and my ribs were tougher than I like. Her chicken parmesan was okay but lacked a flavorful breading. My "tall" beer glass was barely 12 oz and too much of that was head. I also thought the lighting was too dim as it was hard to see my food well. There are many good reviews so your experience may differ than mine.

Their Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo is AMAZING! So cheesy and delicious - WOW! And to think I wanted to go to Olive Garden - ha! The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and there was broccoli mixed in, which was not too hard and not too soft - done perfectly! How did they do that?!? Served with delicious garlic toast - don’t eat your dinner rolls and get too full before you enjoy your meal! The salad was also delicious - the house Italian was SO good! Fabulous server who was really attentive and professional. 👍👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Top notch food and service! Love this place and the owner makes it a point to say hello whenever I’m in town and eating here.

Top notch food and service. Really enjoyed a great meal. Dry aged steaks and the Rainbow trout was fantastic as well. Calamari is highly recommended as a starter.

Fantastic cheese soup and the blackened salmon salad special was fantastic. Fast friendly lunch service! I always run into at least one person I know there. I’m going back for the burgers. They look awesome!
