The pork chops were thin and over cooked. Th crab cakes were thin and greasy. The food is usually good, but was disappointed this visit.

Everything was really great for a second visit here, but the bartender had the personality of Orange Highway cone meaning with the least friendly bartender I’ve ever met.

We had a reservation for dinner and were promptly seated upon arrival. Our waitress was very friendly and allowed us to take our time choosing drinks and entres. The only issue we had was my husband’s dinner arrived cold. But, I have to say the problem was quickly resolved. All and all we had a nice dining experience and will definitely return.
