We had a wonderful first experience here. Don’t know how it took us so long to eat here but now that we have we are already looking forward to our next visit. The ambiance, food, drink and service was all perfect! The pot roast was the winner and don’t forget to leave room for dessert! Thanks again!

Cocktails and food were great. Pot roast was tender and flavorful with the right amount of fat. Fresh made pasta and shrimp, a special, was excellent. Servers were knowledgeable and attentive. A very nice dinner.
