    Scotty’s is a warm, neighborhood restaurant with excellent food, and the service is even better than the food. The atmosphere is upscale casual, friends meeting friends, but you’d be comfortable dining alone, especially at the bar. Prices very reasonable, especially for the quality of fare.

    Had a lovely Christmas dinner with all the family at Morton’s this year, it was my first holiday not cooking for the family and Morton’s did an outstanding job. I think this will become a yearly ritual per se for our family since everyone got something different to eat and everyone was happy. Thank you for making our holiday delicious!

    Always a pleasure and a treat to dine at Bluegrass. The hosts are so gracious, the food is always delicious, and the service is excellent. Our favorite dishes are the orange chicken and the smoked chicken which is a Tuesday night special. The latter is served with the most scrumptious corn pudding. Our friend had the tilapia which she really enjoyed. You can't go wrong with any menu choice there.
