We got cocktails from the bar prior to sitting which were delicious. We had the calamari/shrimp etc app which was great. I got the steak, which was delicious and my husband got the pork. The pork was not our favorite as it was a little tough/dry. We finished it off with a pumpkin cheesecake which was also very good. I also love that I can get a glass of Sancerre which you don’t often see.

The Strawberry fields salad is a Family favorite. Add chicken, shrimp or fish and it’s a full meal. Love the big soft “everything” pretzel. Always a nice list of creative drink ideas and a full bar for anything else you think of. A High quality dishes, no matter what you order. highly recommend!
