Everything was as good as usual, but they seemed understaffed for the night before Thanksgiving. Our server was so busy that my laser glass of champagne came after everyone had finished their desserts and had to wait for me. Poor timing

Our dinning experience was great. From the moment the host took us to our table to the end of our meal everyone was friendly and welcoming. The food was served exactly as we order it and it was delicious. We had the spinach salad, bread, filet mignon and potato au gratin.

Had to wait on a Sunday Eve even though we had a reservation. Table I had requested not available but hostess said nothing just seated us elsewhere. Waitress was young and I’m guessing new. She was definitely stressed and it showed . She was not very outgoing or friendly. Didn’t feel welcome at all. My filet was tough and not very flavorful. The au gratin potatoes were VERY dry. This was our actual day of our 45th wedding anniversary and we were also celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. I was very disappointed in the experience.

The BEST bang for your buck! I think the prime rib is better than any other place around! Friendly service, very fair prices, including wine! Love this “sneaky” spot!
