    The food & drinks were generally good. It was busy and we felt we waited a long time for our food & thennwere a bit rushed. I had a better prior experience, so will give it another try.

    We decided to go to Sullivan’s for a nice dinner. Decided to order from ‘Sure Thing’ menu and it was delicious. You get a choice of a salad or soup and then entree with steak , chicken or salmon and 3 options for dessert. It was $49.99 and it was wonderful. Everything was delicious and good portions. I had the Caesar salad with homemade dressing, 8 ounce sirloin steak with garlic mashed potatoes and New York style cheesecake. Our service was excellent and highly recommend for a great dinner at a very good price!

    Excellent restaurant for classic experience. Very good and well presented cocktails. Food, including amuse bouche, appetizer, one main course (duck breast), and deserts excellent. One exception was entree of "pressed" chicken breast which was a bad concept. Flavor OK but very heavy and dry and too big a portion. Sides were good. Wine list pretty good and not too expensive by today's standards. Ambience, at night, excellent. Parking convenient. Not inexpensive, but not outrageous either. Have been before for lunch, will certainly return for dinner.
