    Our experience with your restaurant was outstanding. We will be back for sure. The food was delicious. Olivia was a great server. Bob the owner was fantastic. He took us upstairs and gave us a tour and the history of the place. He even made sure to turn the pinball machine on for us. Great experience, great food and great service! Thank you!

    The restaurant was amazing. The ambiance was perfect for nice date night. The service was amazing. The added features on the 2nd and 3rd floor of games is fun. The food was very good. We started with calamari which was good then I had the steak and my husband had the lobster seafood sausage stew. I think the steak was good but the calamari and the stew were excellent.

    It's an upscale dining experience. If I recall correctly the most expensive entree was steak at $50 (when I was there). Dinner for two will run about $100 or more, depending on appetizers, dessert, and beverages from the bar. I mention all this because our dinner out is something of a splurge, but well worth it. I had grilled halibut. It was a lovely piece of well prepared fish. The accompanying puree was good.
