    We chose this restaurant for a birthday celebration, and it did not disappoint! Cathy, our server, was fantastic and made the experience enjoyable. The food was reasonably priced and of great quality. The steaks were perfectly cooked to our request, the sides were tasty, and the clam chowder was outstanding. The staff was incredibly accommodating when I requested to add two extra people to our reservation, and I appreciated that they allowed side substitutions without any additional charge. Overall, a wonderful experience! We will be back. The Smiths

    New management and what appears to be, all new servers. Our waiter was not very familiar with the menu, indicating this was his second day on the job. I miss the old wait staff who I became very friendly with (Chelsea in particular) and the manager, Haven. Being a long standing and frequent customer, I am adopting a wait and see attitude toward how things may change, most noticeably the menu that I have loved and whether or not I develop a rapport with the wait staff. We really don't need another Chinese restaurant in Danville, so hopefully the menu with a few changes, will remain the same, rotating dishes depending on the season.

    I have always enjoyed dining here. The service is excellent, and everyone is pleasant and efficient. Tonight they had a limited menu, and I had Lamb shank with Risotta, and it was not my favorite. Too much sauce/gravy. It needed a lighter wine sauce. Normally, I would prefer Linguini with Clams.
