This was a wonderful experience. It was a holiday and we were still seated immediately and the hostess and server were both extremely welcoming and accommodating. Food was amazing and my coffee was delicious. We were very pleased and will certainly be back.

The Regular never disappoints. Even my 2.5 year old granddaughter loves. I wish I took a picture of her shoving the cauliflower dish in her mouth. It was like she couldn’t get enough. She enjoyed the seafood risotto too. You must get the fish head if it is on the menu.

The pepper crusted tenderloin is the best steak I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be dreaming about the next time I can enjoy a meal at range.
