In the beginning I disliked how slow the service was. But it all changed .i came back the second time because the first time the food WAS great. Now it’s our fifth time here. It grew on me. The food is always on point. My favorite is the ribeye with mushrooms and side of mash potatoes with gravy. But I’ve tried most of the menu already and I must say nothings has disappointed me so far. The fish of the day is a favorite of my husbands. Will continue to dine here. Shout out to Don.
