Enjoyed a fun St Patty’s Day dinner: A reconstructed corned beef and cabbage that was excellent. My wife found Old Bay seasoned mussels too bitter for her liking. (I think it may have been an error. There’s no way it was meant to taste like that.) We consulted the manager, and he immediately replaced it with a delicious mussels and bacon dish. I think that’s a sign of a good restaurant. They make things right. The special dessert: rhubarb crisp with ice cream, was a great mix of crunchy, tart, creamy and sweet.

Cameron was our server, very kind! Loved his personality and promptness to care for my group. He was on point with his suggestions! The salmon was perfect! The T-Bone was flavorful, tender and filling. We tried the cauliflower appetizer they had a little kick to them? But was delicious! We were blessed by the chef with some egg rolls which were delightful. Can’t wait to return, hopefully the Shrimp and grits will be on the menu. Well done Sharon Isaac—-

Nice that the brunch menu has added two omelet choices in addition to old favorites and lunch choices for those who are not egg-oriented.
