My all time absolute favorite restaurant. I have been going here each year for my birthday for the past 10 years wow time flies. Since then they remodeled this year, I really miss the original layout but the food is still fantastic. The chicken tenders are delicious, all of their sauces are homemade, so their honey mustard is the bomb.
The croissants are heavenly and addicting. I literally can't say enough good things about this place.
The meat is made from premium beef, you gotta try the chili and the nachos. The prime rib is flawless the best I have tried anywhere.
This place is busy but the people are so sweet if you have a problem they are happy to fix it. Let them help you.
I was there with my wife, in-laws, and our 3 kids last Tuesday (8/1) for lunch after a trip to the aquarium. Everyone else went in to get a table while I parked our van. It took 5+ minutes for us to be greated by our server after I arrived at the table, which was already several minutes after the rest of the party had been seated. I ordered a tuna sandwich and asked that it be cooked medium rare. There was the SLIGHTEST bit of pink in the very middle, which means the cook wasn't even close. To be fair, it would be hard to cook that fish correctly because it wasn't even an inch thick. The bread was greasy and there was almost 1/3 more bread than fish. The sweet potato fries were pretty good. My wife and 2 year old ordered chicken tenders...and those were REALLY good. My little boys fries were greasy and bland. While the server was pleasant enough, she missed a lot of little things (water for my son, the sauce that my mother-in-law ordered with her meal, etc). If you go, just order chicken tenders. Or don't go.
Not happy with the remodel. It has lost the cozy atmosphere at the bar. The food was pretty good but I've moved on to the newer alternatives in the area.
Always good food. Excellent service. Pretty good drinks also. Can be busy at times so try to go for an early dinner here.
Got seated right away which was good. Wait staff was attentive & pleasant. Took a few minutes to choose what we wanted & ordered. Appetizer (Buffalo bites) were good. Our burgers, not so much. They were over done (well) and dry. They weren't hot. (Nothing was hot.) The burger was supposed to have what I assumed would be melted cheddar cheese & fried onions. What I got was barely wilted cheddar & barely, not even close to fried onions. Fried onions are supposed to be sweet & translucent. These were still red & oniony. As a side I ordered a loaded baked potato. I expected a hot, fully cooked potato. Instead I got a kinda cooked potato that wasn't hot. Cheese again barely melted. At some point the waitress refilled our drinks. Was supposed to be cola, got Dr. Pepper or Root beer, we weren't sure which. We only got burgers. Not sure we'd go with something more if we decide to go back.
