Excellent food, excellent service. A terrific place to meet with family and friends. Their large table in the dining room is perfect for a family of 12. Staff were welcoming and made every effort to make our dining experience enjoyable. Thank you!

As always such a nice relaxed evening with friendly service and good food. Only issue was we could smell smoke coming from the smoking area but otherwise was a perfect night for a low key birthday dinner :)
