This restaurant is our all-time-favorite for family celebrations. It's located midway between us and our children and grandchildren. They do a great job of handling large groups. Everyone loves the food - there is something for everyone! From Veal Marsala to Chicken Parmigiana to chicken fingers and fries for the little ones.

For us, this was a special occasion meal and the food and the service were top shelf. We were a little taken back by the sticker shock, but the drinks, steak, salad, lobster, and appetizers were so good, I can’t complain. However, we were very surprised by the dress of the clientele. People were wearing sweats and sneakers in what I consider to be a very expensive and high end restaurant. Our waiter Pierre was an absolute pro. This is not a place for me to frequent often but maybe once or twice a year for a special occasion.
