Very clean and excellent atmosphere. I really enjoyed the salmon and service was top notch. We never had to ask for a refill or anything. All of our needs were anticipated and met for a wonderful dining experience. I love the fact the staff is all smiles and positive. Restrooms are emaculately clean.

The atmosphere here is very nice. Our server was great. He stayed on top of anything we needed. I got the trio. It comes with a side salad, bowl of soup, and 1/2 club sandwich. The salad was a pretty good size for it to be considered just a side. I choose the sirloin chili and simple salad. Absolutely delicious. My husband got a pizza and it was delicious as well. They make a really good mojito but the size is on the smaller side. Overall a great experience.

Beef stroganoff on the menu! It’s been so long but this was amazing! The bartender (Corey) was awesome too! Would definitely recommend. If you are on the fence, come on in!
