Since 1972, we’ve believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous ‘Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    Although the restaurant was busier than we expected on Christmas evening, the service was quite efficient. We enjoyed our dinners, and everything was served hot and ready-to-eat. Alberto always greets us when we visit. He wished us a Merry Christmas and made sure we were satisfied. The servers checked up on us to see if we needed more silverware, drinks, etc. We went home happy and full!

    It took about 5-7 minutes to be acknowledged, as the front check in area wasn't staffed. Servers and bussers walked by and saw me, but didn't engage with me at all. Once I was seated though, my server was very attentive. My appetizer and meal were served quick and at the proper temperature. My drink was cold and the check was brought to me promptly, once I was done.

    The food was mediocre my burger came out without any sauce that was supposed to be on it it took a long time for the kids pizza to come out and I ordered a appetizer salad which came with the dinner and had no dressing very disappointing. Oh and we all loaded burgers we had to ask twice just to get some ketchup

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Disappointed that it was 'deli' turkey, and not carved off the bird. Also disappointed with the little dollop of whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. The sides were delicious, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the seasonal drink - Midnight Harvest. Our server Matt was the best.

    The food was good, not great. The new eggroll appetizer was very greasy. I ordered my burger without a bun and it was sitting in a pile of grease on the plate. Everyone else's food was fine. The cocktails were really good and even though the kitchen was backed up our server was on top of everything - kudos to him!
