    We ordered a dirty martini that came just shy of the halfway mark on the glass, flatbread was inedible but the other dishes were okay. Not a good visit.

    Was a good place to watch football and enjoy happy hour. Service was friendly but slow. Bacon wrapped dates and shrimp were delicious.

    We were there for lunch on Veterans Day, and the waitress seems to be in a hurry. We got our food. OK, paid for our service. OK. Food was good.

    4 of us went for their Veterans Day promotion (free meal for vets off a limited menu). Everything was very tasty with generous portions. They otherwise have a very extensive menu with something for everyone.
