Delicious! I really enjoyed their salmon dinner and the huge salad that you get in a large bowl when you have a party of 4 or more. The blue cheese dressing is very good. I also liked the roasted garlic cloves that they give you with the bread. My husband had the coconut shrimp and really enjoyed them with the sauce provided. Happy hour is served only in the bar area. Seems like everyone who goes there is a regular and knows the wait staff. They have a vegetarian plate on the online menu but not on the printed menu but they will accommodate you if you ask. Oh and the grilled artichoke appetizer is very very good.
The combination of apps was a delightful platter. We enjoyed a prime rib medium rare.
We waited about 45 minutes for the prime rib, which was acceptable, but unfortunately, the potato was very dry. On the bright side, the mozzarella sticks were delicious.

The food was great! We had a large group and it was a busy night. Our server was amazing to keep it all straight. We had everything from ribeye steaks, shrimp, salmon and fish and chips. It was all perfectly cooked and delicious! There were no complaints about the food or service from anyone at the table. This is a fantastic place to eat and I would definitely eat there again!

Our waitress was wonderful. The shrimp was way over cooked and cold, no flavor. They did bring a second plate the flavor was a little better, warmer but again way over cooked and chewy. My husband had the fried shrimp temperature was also cool. no $30 dollar plate. The crab cakes and the bread were good, Great salad. Again service was great
