    We frequently dine here and it continues to be a great spot for dinner in south suburbs. New cocktails are added weekly. Menu is consistent with a few additions here and there. They do all the menu items well. New favorites are the cranberry crisp and new chocolate dessert. Service is always top notch. A favorite in south suburbs.

    The atmosphere was very nice, the food was delicious and the waitstaff was friendly, professional, accommodating and efficient. It was 15 of us. We had a variety of appetizers and with us having a variety of dinner selections, we sampled several items from the menu.

    We were celebrating and could not have had a nicer experience. We had vegetarians with us and they were very happy with their options on the menu. Our server made our experience great. He was well informed about the menu and drinks . Everything was well timed- we did not feel rushed nor did we wait. Lovely evening! Thank you!

    Wonderful experience My husband and I were seated near the fireplace and felt it would be too warm. The waitstaff accommodated us and turned the fireplace off. Shortly thereafter, another couple sat nearby the fireplace and seemed pleased that it was off. Our server was Joe, he was phenomenal and very attentive. For starters, I had the Scallop Mornay, it was cooked to perfection, however, the crust topping was a bit salty. My husband had the Pecan Crusted Crabcakes, they were delicious. For our entrees, I had the Chicken, Sausage and Seafood Creole Jambalaya, it had a spicy kick,which I really enjoyed. My husband had the Smoked Bone- In Pork Chop, it was cooked to perfection. I had the Lemon Drop which was nice and my husband had a Margarita which was made just right. We did not see anything really appealing on the desert menu,so we declined. This restaurant is a gem in the south suburb. We had a wonderful experience, and you will, too.
