This establishment seems to be a well kept secret and has never let me down (maybe 15 times over the last 5-6 years). The food is excellent Americana, the service is professional but friendly, and the prices are fair. I am not a drinker so I cannot report on the wine list but I never have heard anything negative from my wife and friends.
