    We are often go this restaurant as we love everything about this place. I had Spaghetti squash special that was on the menu yesterday. It was super delicious and requested they add this to the regular menu. My husband and another friend shared a Tomahawk Steak 30 oz and they said was one of best steaks they have had in a while. Highly recommend this place if you have not been.

    This is our favorite restaurant in the area. The food is always amazing, the service is excellent, and the eclectic decor is interesting. If you go at night and have a table by the windows, there is a lovely view and it doesn’t look like a corporate park. Our waiter was so attentive and the owner always stops by to say hello. Can’t say enough about the place.

    The mediterranean salad was outstanding. The shrimp brioche sandwich was very good. Just a bit too much mayo.
