    One of our favorite restaurants-all of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, the ambience is like dining in the coziest living room, and our meals tonight were perfect-be sure to choose the mac & cheese side-you won’t be disappointed!

    Food was served cold, dessert was frozen inside. While the flavors we're enjoyable the temperature of the food made it less enjoyable.

    The address for this place on OpenTable is wrong. Bought me to a nearby neighborhood and not the country club. Food was great and ambiance was a cool vibe. Service was great. Really pretty venue!

    Another terrific evening; Jenny P is an outstanding server. The young man who assists at the table is to be commended-he really seems to enjoy his job and never fails to bring a smile to my face!

    There was nothing specifically wrong with the food. It was just boring. The highlight of the meal was the sauce and fried olives that came with the calamari. My filet mignon was supposed to be very rare and it was medium at best. The onion soup was missing the toast under the melted cheese. The baked potato did not include butter or sour cream. There was a wedding next door, so it was probably a bit noisier than usual. The restaurant was not busy, but my drinks took forever to arrive.
