    Our server was nice but the food wasn’t good. At least my meal wasn’t. My pork chops were awful, I got the pineapple glazed pork chops and they weren’t glazed with anything. Just a chunk of canned pineapple on top. The chops were super thin. The worst part was the bread. They gave us bread when we got there, we were given at roll for a sandwich. It had a slice in it for a sandwich. I think they just found it in the back somewhere It was stale and not even a warmed up. I was embarrassed after bringing my valentine here. I was so disappointed and won’t be going back.

    The overall experience was good. The Caesar salad and the soup were very tasty. We ordered off the Tuesday menu and my husband and I shared our meals. The chicken was dry and the ribs were so much better with the extra sauce.

    Ribs were amazing. Caesar salad was probably the best I’ve ever had! Service was lacking. Had to repeatedly ask for drinks, bbq sauce, boxes, check. Food is delicious though!

    We typically eat here every NY Eve. We made early reservations and they were already busy when we arrived. The staff and manager were all moving quickly the whole time! :) See you next NY Eve, God willing!
