    Food has always been good here. Today when we got our check we were surprised the charge for a Vodka Martini was now $18. This is a bit pricey for a lunch meal. If and when we return will ask in advance about coctail prices.

    Good service from front desk to table server. Soup was not hot enough for my friend & I, was reheated when we asked. Regular coffee was not hot either.
