    The ambiance of this restaurant warms me. And for that I will be back. The Royal old fashioned, salmon and the deviled eggs were SPECTACULAR! The orzo that came with the salmon was tepid and the bread pudding more bread than pudding. The service was good too. I will be back..... maybe even tomorrow for breakfast!

    I went for the Thanksgiving meal and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was superb, and everyone was very helpful. The pumpkin soup was the best soup I've ever had, period. I was told this was the first time they've offered it. I hope they bring it back!

    This is another Greek owned American restaurant. There wasn't an extensive menu so I had a tossed salad for a starter. Other than having too much oil and vinegar dressing it was okay. For my main course I ordered Moussaka assuming they would have a good version of this traditional Greek staple. Unfortunately it was soupy with bits of eggplant not the regular fried or baked medallions. I ate about 1/3 of the serving and took the rest home to put in my trash.
