Came here for Sunday diner with friends. I tried the the special which was lobster and shrimp over mac 'n cheese. It was very nice. Various friends order other items and there was no complaints. Service was OK even though the restaurant was full. The food was deleivered in very reasonable time and was hot when served.

Had chicken salad. Had to return it. Hamburgers and sweet potato fries seemed a safe bet, but went down with difficulty. Average prices.

Pleasant atmosphere , good food and drink. It may take a long time to have a waiter serve you but it is worth to be patient. A little bit steep.
