We met up with family who live in the neighborhood. We haven't been there for a while, but remembered that the food is always good. This time I was very impressed with the updated decor. Comfortable vibes to go along with the good service and excellent food.

The food was excellent and the service very good. It was a bit pricey, but what isn’t these days? Normally, the ambiance and noise level are that of a nice supper club, but due to a large holiday gathering near the door, it was quite loud. The quality is much better under the “new” owners.

Coleen did a great job. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and I also had a dinner to go. I'll say it again, you have the best bussers of any restaurant. Well done! If I could only make one comment for improvement, it would be that the chocolate chip cookie dessert should have been warm with the ice cream. Thank you.
