We visited on a Saturday around 5:15 pm. and was surprised that there was a small group playing nice calm music. Plenty of seating available. Waitress arrived and took our drink order and returned shortly to take our food order. She seemed pre-occupied. Both of our dinners said that they came with sides which below were listed as 4 different sides garlic mashed potatoes, baked potato,carrots and green beans.All were listed at $6 each. We asked to substitute our sides for the 2 sides from those 4 I listed.My dinner arrived with 1 of the sides listed plus the 2 substitutes.When dinner finished our bill arrived with an additional charge for the 1 side. Also I had asked for a glass of house wine listed in the menu as $7 the bill came with a $10 for the wine.As I said the waitress seemed pre-occupied so I will not hold the restaurant at fault for that. Both entrees we ordered (the same) were warm at best the vegetable sides were mostly tasteless.First impression was very good last impression was not so good.May try back another time if we are in the area with hopefully better results

My husband said the short-rib beef meal that he had was good. I had the crab cake special and did not care for it at all. The crab cake was terrible, and the fries had too much Old Bay seasoning. As for the drinks, first off, they did not have VO or Canadian Club, which blows my mind. The mix drinks were 9.00 each, that's with a shot of whiskey and water (nothing fancy). For the 2 drinks I had I could've bought a quart of whiskey. The beers were 6.00. The music was good and there were a lot of people dancing, however, it appears that Bob Pantano will not be there anymore.

Nice place. Really good food. Short rib grilled cheese could use more cheese, but was tasty. Service was a little slow from the kitchen and it wasn’t crowded. Waitress was very attentive. Dessert items were outstanding.

We came hoping for a good meal but instead got a very lame meal. We ordered two appetizers. The one in question was the nachos. It was so soggy and once all four of us tried it - we had to flag a waitress down to take it away. I told her the problem. She offered to make it again. I said no thank you. Normally, a manger might visit, more questions about it, or it would have been removed from the bill. None of these things occurred. Beers were warm. Our meals came and the steak meals did come with any green salad or side veggies- we checked the menu and it isn’t stated. We were just surprised that it was just a lump of mash and the steak. Steaks was overcooked. Now we must say there was a wedding and their buffet was out in the front. That looked great! House was so loud but that what a wedding should be. Our waitress came but we didn’t really get much care. Needed things but didn’t have anyone to ask. Overall - not a good meal or experience.
