    We'd been coming here over many years, but something seemed to have fallen off in the kitchen our last visit. They just couldn't cook the beef anywhere close to the right temp, and the cut of meat for the special was wrong, and low quality. Then, they couldn't expedite a new entree when we sent back the first. (I can't remember the last time I sent back an entree dining out, and then to not even get a replacement out to my father after 25 minutes is just strange.)

    Unreasonable Hospitality! There was a small delay in seating us at our reservation time due to holiday merry makers not wanting to turn over their tables. Completely understandable this time of year. The staff more than made up for any small inconvenience with 2 delicious free appetizers we were offered as an apology. Everything was lovely and delicious.

    We added a person last minute and were originally told that we couldn’t be accommodated but then they pulled through and fit us in!

    Hi Elizabeth, We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you had a positive experience overall. We’d love to know more about how we could have earned a 5-star review in terms of food, ambience, and value. Your thoughts would be invaluable to us as we continue to improve. Regarding the addition of another person to your reservation, we apologize for the inconvenience. At the time of your reservation, we were experiencing a high volume and unfortunately didn't have the availability to accommodate the extra guest. However, we were grateful that another table realized they needed less space and offered to adjust, which allowed us to fit your party without delay. We're glad we could find a solution! We hope to welcome you back soon! Gizzel Willis Assistant General Manager
