We had a party of 5.. some of the party was a little late, but the staff was very accommodating. It was the first.time.for all of us in the group, and the waitress was very helpful and assisted with each of our drink selections as well as our meals. The holiday decor was just right, festive but not overdone. The Blackberry Smash and Huckleberry Bourbon cocktails were the hot topic of the night. The food was A-Mazing!!! Porkchops were tender and cooked to perfection, the ravioli was not what was expected but lasted phenomenal and, of course, had to order the French oinon soup, which would be in my top two. No pictures.. we were in the moment enjoying the food and company.

A Fun “Old School” restaurant which has a great menu. Prime Rib sandwich and Caesar salad are tops! We love the interior of the restaurant- recommend the owners spruce up the exterior- looks “tired”. Highly recommend!

The free parking was blocked and you either park in the back or valet for $4. You keep the closest parking for other businesses, the parking lot is not that big, the other businesses customers can walk another car length or two as well. Get with the property management and have them marked for the other businesses then you don't need valet.
