This place is one of my favorites! It’s often busy, but we always manage to get a table. The service is top-notch, regardless of the server, and the drinks are always on point. The food is consistently fresh and tasty. I’ve loved everything I’ve had there, from the Caesar salad with grilled chicken to the jumbo shrimp, white fish, salmon, pulled pork, ham and cheese, and French onion soup. We try to visit every Friday. I’m a huge fan of this place! It’s usually busy, but w

I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. My server Amy I believe was her name was on point. Always making sure our drinks were filled and seeing if we needed anything. Very friendly and patient with my children when deciding what to order. Highly recommend.

I really love this place. They are usually pretty busy but we can always find a table. The waitstaff is excellent no matter who you get. Drinks are awesome. The food is always fresh and delicious! I loved every thing I’ve had there. Caesar salad with grilled chicken, jumbo shrimp, white fish, salmon, pulled pork, ham and cheese, French onion soup…..all very good! We try to come every Friday.

Honestly, this place just is not it. I’ve been twice now, and the “12 oz. Ribeye” is just a 12 oz. NY Strip with a $4 up charge. My stepdad and I ordered our steaks medium well, and they came well done. Extremely dry, and just sad looking. Service is inattentive. Waitress never came back to ask us if we needed anything, like there was a full house. There was maybe 3 or 4 other tables besides us, and another server on the floor. Save your time, appetite, and money. This place is not worth what they charge.

I was served at the bar by Amy and she was pretty slow with service. Seems like she paid more attention to frequent customers than people who were coming in for the first time. Food was pretty average.

A local favorite that I would be happy to frequent. Food was well prepared for what it was. Standard pricing comparable with other local restaurants. Happy hour specials are from 3pm to 6pm. Looking forward to trying brunch on the weekends and exploring the menu further.
