    The warm greeting at the door was the beginning of impeccable service for the night. The food was excellent from appetizers to dessert with the lamb chops and Galaktoboureko as true standouts. It was a great way to celebrate our 39th anniversary!

    Besides the food being the best around…prime rib truly melts in your mouth …the employees there are such great human beings! This was my mom's and my favorite restaurant. This was my first time dining without her. But instead of a sad night, my waiter, Ashely, and the staff went above and beyond for me when I came in on one of their busiest nights to honor my late mother and best friend. The compassion and kindness Ashely and her manager Peter showed me was unbelievable!! They are wonderful human beings and showed me that there are still wonderful people in the world.

    Our family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner here. Thank you so much Jessica for being so accommodating to our adjustments and welcoming! Jennifer, our server, for table 33 was amazing! She was so attentive, friendly and truly brought the joy and warmth of Christmas to us all. The food was so tasty, from the meatballs, the crab cakes, the lamb chops and dry aged ribeye. The cheesecake was delicious as well. It was all cooked to perfection and presented very well. The bottle of Meiomi paired well with the meats. It was truly a great experience. Thank you so much Jennifer and everyone who contributed to our night. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁

    Wow, what a DELICIOUS meal we enjoyed tonight. From the PICKLED VEGETABLES, the LITTLE LETTUCE SALAD, to the my DUNGENESS CRAB TAGLIOLINI, the food was on point. All four of us enjoyed our respective entrees. There was a small snafu with our second round of drinks, but the EXCELLENT ATTENTIVENESS of the manager, Sarah, quickly and happily resolved everything. Our wait staff was very attentive too. We will definitely be back for dinner again and we were thrilled that CAMPER delivered…AGAIN.
