Brunch after church on Sunday was a delightful experience. Beautiful family owned restaurant with an unusual menu, but full of high quality delicious food. Great service and live music for entertainment. This is definitely a great place to take your favorite person to date night.

MANAGEMENT SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED!! Our party of four walked in at 6:30 Tuesday night. We were told there would be a half hour wait, so we sat at the bar to wait. Ordered beers, and it took almost 15 minutes to get them. Waited at the bar for 50 minutes before we were finally seated. During those 50 minutes, there were two tables behind us, where the people left, and the tables remained uncleaned for 15 and 20 minutes each. I told the host I wanted to speak with the manager twice. I was told the manager was busy. The manager never came to me or our table. We were finally seated, ordered, and food came from the kitchen. Food was also really slow coming from the kitchen. Our bartender/waitress was very nice, except she kept saying how are "we" doing? What would "we" like tonight? If she wants to be part of "we" she can count in on paying the bill. She apologized for the wait, and explained that there are only four people on staff M-Th. That includes hosts, bartenders, waitresses, and busboys. You can't expect a restaurant to be successful with numbers like that. How do I know, because I will not be going back, and reviews like this will keep people away, and then your staff of four won't be overwhelmed. Olive Garden is around the corner. Not as fancy, not as good, and definetly not as expensive, but I know they wont turn a dinner out into a 2-1/2 hour affair.

We visited on a Friday night. Our server, Michael, was wonderful! He was very attentive as well as took his time by explaining different dishes on the menu. I ordered the spicy shrimp pasta with lemon sauce - very good! We were very happy with his service and the food was terrific. The libations were superb!! We will be back again. Thank you Michael for being a wonderful host - we enjoyed your service. I’ll take photos next time ?

Really good food. 1st visit. Will be back.

My family and I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the 22oz ribeye, and it was cooked to perfection. Lots of leftovers trust me. I will go back again.

Had one experience at this place prior to thus last visit and it was an amazing turn around. The food was amazing,the drinks were really good an the live musician they had just fit the ambiance of the restaurant. Great experience forsure

We celebrated a romantic dinner here and it was nearly perfect. The ambiance was beautiful. The lighting was soft. The food was delicious. The service was friendly.

VALENTINES DAY HORROR! What a horrible experience. 1) Had reservations for 7pm. Got to the restaurant 10 minutes early but could not be seated until 730pm. 2) took 30 minutes to get 1st drinks. 3) Had to order appetizer from a different waitress as ours was nowhere to be found. 4) Had to order 2nd drink from busboy as again, waitress was nowhere to be found. 5) watched two tables seated after us get served dinner 10-15 minutes before us (we are only two guests). 6) 830pm finally receive appetizer (beef wellington). Ordered it medium and received it boiled beyond well done. (Of note, the sauce was good). The sauce was all that made it edible. 7) its now 845pm and we still have not received dinner or 2nd drink. 8) 855pm waitress (our actual waitress) brings table bread to us (should have got it an hour earlier)and says our meal is almost ready. At this point my wife is upset and wants to leave. I ask our waitress to close out our bill and cancel the dinner and drinks we had not yet received. She sends over GM who immediately goes to the kitchen and brings out our dinner. I was hoping the food would save the night however I was sadly mistaken. 9) Finally get 2nd drink after dinner is served. 10) Wife's lobster ravioli had very little lobster flavor and the tiger prawns looked to be 31-40 sized shrimp, overcooked. (Of note, the vodka sauce was good) 11) I had ordered the seafood scampi. What I received was a virtually tasteless shrimp/scallop linguine with undercooked pasta. It was as if the cook did not drain the water from the pasta and just mixed it with the very failed scampi sauce. I could have gotten a better seafood linguine at Red Lobster! Not what you would expect from a locally owned fine dining restuarant. We will NOT be returning here nor will we recommend it to our friends, family, or coworkers. They received the lowest tip I give (12.5% out of a potential 25%) and truth be told I should have left them $1, or less than 1% of our total bill. It was that bad of an experience. I do not recommend them to anyone.

Only place in town that had no wait. Should've been the sign to leave immediately. Hostess/bartender sat at a table with guests not bothering to host or serve drinks. Waitstaff runs around the entire restaurant making getting served a chore. No menus, have to go to their website to figure out what you want. Food was the worst I've had in 5 years. Do yourself a favor and consider McDonald's drive thru instead of wasting 2 hours here. Management needs to be replaced as well as the head chef. Food is from cans and covered in sauces.

Food, service & ambiance were great. I enjoyed the jazz music & the drinks were delicious.
