    As always good! One of my favorite restaurant to go to. Filet mignon and crab cake combo was very tasty. My friend had a pork chop and was done to perfection! Absolutely delicious per my friend’s comment. Compliments to the chef! Keep the great job! Staff were great and Kendal was very attentive.

    I am.glad they have opened for lunch. All 3 meals were thoroughly enjoyed. Lunch specials were a nice size, price. Service a tad off.. thought I ordered a bottle of wine; miscommunicated and got two glasses. Not the end of the world; but the bottle started to turn.. didn't make a big deal. Server had meals delivered incorrectly. . small things. I have been for dinner semi frequently and always have a great experience. It will make the Th/Fri.lunch rotation..with a full bottle
