    This was a right-after Chistmas dinner for 5 friends. Everything was close to perfect. Three of us had crabcakes , 1 had the princess cut of prime rib and the fifth had scallops. Our waiter was attentive and friendly and knowledgeable, and pronto on multiple requests for drinks. Everyone remarked at the wonderful food, with two exceptions - two said their broccoli could have been steamed longer, but then mine was juicy soft and delicious. The baked potatoes and broccoli portions are huge and two of our party split theirs and shared with others. Two had onion soup and said it was the best they ever had. Two got deserts - the strawberrry cheesecake and chocolate cake and said they were delish. It was quiet where we were seated and no one had trouble hearing conversations. All in all we had a wonderful time talking and eating. We will be back.

    We’ve visited this restaurant many times over the years and we were very disappointed in the experience now vs prior visits. The prime rib was cold and when we mentioned it, it was obviously tossed in a microwave or something as the meat was just a little warmer and the outside was grey, but the plates were still cold.

    We appreciated the staff’s attentive service. That was the best part of the experience. The quality of the food was sub par. My prime rib came out cold, not even warm. I requested the server to reheat the food which he did. For the price we paid - we were a large group- the food was a big disappointment.

    Staff wasn't very friendly at welcoming. Waiter was pretty good but could of been more attentive. For the price it definitely wasn't a good experience. Very nice atmosphere if staff had of been more friendly.
