It’s has a nice atmosphere. However, we found the dinners good but not notable. There was a lack of attention to detail. Two of us had coffee after dinner and it was stone cold.

We had a post wedding party at 525 (the day after) as a last good bye to family and friends and it could not have been nicer! The staff was wonderful and the food was fabulous! The scallops wrapped in bacon were the best I’ve ever had! Perfect friendly atmosphere! I would highly recommend them!

Stopped by after visiting Hammond Castle. We arrived at 530pm, place was busy but not packed yet. Luckily we ordered the appetizer nachos, because service was extremely slow. Our dinners, when they finally arrived, were tasty. The salmon tacos were covered in tomatoes. The tiny bit of asian slaw was hidden in the short ribs tacos, tasted okay but zero points for presentation! The burger was basic bar fare and fries were overdone. Looked promising but not a great dining experience for us.

Paid $50 for garbage that is not even possible to call food. I got a pizza that I did not order with 0 sausages and 100 pieces of jalapeños. Wishing the owner and the cooks to eat like that every night! Bon appetite!

They took more than 1 hour to bring the food, and the restaurant was not even full. The hamburger was pretty normal, the shrimp pizza was outstanding.
