Douglas was our server and he was excellent. Prices have gone up since our last outing there, as is the case everywhere. The live music was very good!

First time. I loved it. Older steak house. Great food. Service was friendly. Tables too close together for sure. I felt like I was included with the other people’s conversation although tried to ignore, they were right there.

The music trio on Saturday Feb 8th with singer and two musician were wonderful . Their sound, songs and singers depth and breadth of crowning was a wonderful presentation. We will return to hear that trio again and enjoy the menu items. Such a quality of food is worth exploring and enjoying. I had the cockerel pasta and after listening to my companions comments of their meals I want to try another entree.
