From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted and promptly seated. Our server was attentive without being intrusive, ensuring that our drinks were never empty and that every course arrived at the perfect time. What really stood out was the staff’s genuine enthusiasm and knowledge of the menu; they offered excellent recommendations and accommodated special requests with ease. Every detail was handled with care, making the entire experience feel personalized and special. Highly recommend for both the food and the impeccable service!

In the past the entree menu was extensive, and there were always a couple of daily specials. Tonight I was very surprised at how few entrees were on the written menu. The smallest steak option was 12 ounces, too much meat for the normal person to eat at one time. There were no entree specials. We were disappointed by how few options we had. I did not see a side salad on the menu but asked if I could order one. Yes, I could, so I asked for the house salad. It was lettuce- only lettuce, no cherry tomatoes, no cucumbers, nothing but lettuce with a tasty vinaigrette for $14. The service was prompt and pleasant, but I will not return because the menu is too limited and the food is no longer as tasty as it used to be. I think others feel as I do because around 8 p.m. on Saturday night, when we left, only four or five tables were occupied.

I arrived with my guests only to find the restaurant was closed. I as left scrambling to find a place to go to. How do you accept reservations when you aren’t even open???
