Since 1972, we've believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous 'Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    We have come here for years. However quality of food has declined. I ordered the scallops as I always do. This time around it came with maybe a quarter of a cup of risotto. The portions have decreased over the years with same higher costs. We also went for my daughter’s birthday. In the past they have brought dessert with a candle and made it special. This year they just ran the dessert to the table and ran off. Was disappointing and made a celebration pretty anti climatic. Also being gluten free there isn’t one appetizer available, very limited

    Waited over 30 minutes for food after finally ordering(they were out of what we wanted originally). Managers seems to only talk to regulars. Son asked for lemonade. It was literally pure simple syrup and incredibly thick. Mac and cheese has no flavor and came out cold, same with the sweet potato fries(good when hot). Server claimed everything was taking so long because of the grilled cheese was being prepared but that came out cold too. The server was super sweet and tried, but it was dead at 6pm which tells me I’m not the only one who thinks this place isn’t worth going to. Only got 2 stars cuz how kind the server was.

    Service was subpar. Server brought check while we were eating and wanted us to pay before we were finished. Didn’t offer dessert. Sweet potato fries were cold.
