   Was there to celebrate my son’s 11th birthday. Food was great, as always, and the portions are always enough for left overs to take home! Service was a little slow, but server was very kind.

   Went there to celebrate a friend's birthday... no free dessert there (that's fine... but just saying)... we were there longer than most and the place is big enough that it wasn't a problem. I had the walleye (good but next time I say just lemon (skip the sauce and capers) and my hubby had the chopped steak and mashed potatoes (it was OK). Saganaki was good!

   Everything at this restaurant was delicious and it has been over decades of eating at this place. Value for the price too, entree with soup or salad and bread is served at your table. Service was wonderful for a packed house too.

    Exactly the same as 25 years ago. Not in a good way. No one wants to listen to frank sinatra the entire meal. Had to ask 3 different times for the same food question. Then asked what the handle of the day/week was in bar and was told “I don’t know I would have to check… and never did until meal was over. No mocktails. I asked for a juice concoction in a fancy glass… Didn’t get that. No country crock or butter substitute. 25 years ago that all flew. Not today…
