    I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food was sooo good. The lamb and chicken was sooo good, they were so flavorful and tender. The onion rings were the best I’ve ever had. My only gripe is that the Mac and cheese was a $12 up charge….not sure why the mac and cheese was so expensive and we had to sit by the door. Anytime someone came in and out the bitter cold air came through. Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend this place!

    First time dining here and I would definitely dine again. Ambience was very nice. Calamari was delicious, the cauliflower side that came with our steak was delicious and our server was excellent!

    I’m a returning customer so that is a big deal for me. The service,food and atmosphere were all very positive again . The only issue was when the patio heater nearest my table was turned off . My table was not against the restaurant brink exterior but up against the tented wall in the patio section. We were not asked about our temperature comfort level when the patio heater near our table was turned off; It was a very cold night and our feet ended up being cold. Other than that it was pretty great! The fresh “free bread “ all the appetizers and all three meals were delicious! So go!
