I had a filet, baked potato and salad. My steak and potato were lukewarm and the steak was tough. I ate less than half of my meal. I was disappointed.

Charged $10 extra to switch to shrimp instead of chicken OUCH, otherwise good

Went for Birthday lunch and asked for a booth. Got club sandwich with fries and the Alfredo with shrimp instead of chicken (they charged $10 ADDITIONAL to do this SIGH) and a side house salad with their 2 house dressings (hot bacon + honey mustard)....Parking is limited, walked right in and got sat at a booth in the bar on a weekday just before noon.

Food was average, at best. Our server was capable and friendly, but almost too friendly. We didn't need to know her personal life. For the most part, food was too salty.

I started with She Crab soup- delicious and very ample bits of crab. Salads came with one of the wonderful honey buttered croissants ....Additionally, one item that made our dinner especially fantastic was our waiter, Riley! Funny, responsive and...

Food is pretty good, some classics and some twists, and for their prices it’s 100% worth it. The service is unmatched- absolutely amazing.
