    We had a larger party of folks. The service was great. Food came out promptly. Loved the deep fried pickles. We lingered after lunch and had our gift exchange. We were treated patiently. I would have us meet there again.

    I made reservations ahead of time for a birthday party of 8 friends. The round table was nice, but noisy between the bar & the kitchen making conversation difficult. At first the waitress seemed irritated that I requested coasters, but she only brought made 2, instead of enough for others at the table. Then she changed and did a good job. My main complaint is that the two people who ordered sirloin steak , one medium well and one well done had a lot of gristle in the meat. My husband mentioned it to the waitress, but she didn’t do anything about it. The other lady ate hers, but both said it was the worst, grisly steak they had ever had. The other six people’s food was good. So sad to not get a quality piece of sirloin for the price. My salmon was good, hamburgers and chicken were too. We celebrate all of our birthdays and have eaten here before, but will think twice the next time about where we go.
