Since 1972, we’ve believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous ‘Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    Our server was professional, lovely and knowledgeable. She welcomed us in, gave great advice, and was overall terrific as this was our first visit. The food was fantastic, as were the cocktails. The only drawback was a gentleman that was assisting at our table. Initially he came over (after we were seated by staff) and asked if we seated ourselves or if we had a reservation. (We did and explained that as we entered the restaurant). We ordered the whipped ricotta (which was delicious) and this same gentleman advised that if we needed more bread just ask. Clearly this happens often. Well, we were left with a half bowl of cheese and no bread. We asked and received. However when we received the bill we were charged $3 for the extra bread. Not the money, it’s the principle. You may want to rethink that policy. Personally I don’t like being nickel and dimed. Unfortunately it left us feeling a little deflated after an outstanding experience.

    We went for Thanksgiving dinner. Disappointed that it was 'deli' turkey, and not carved off the bird. Also disappointed with the little dollop of whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. The sides were delicious, especially the mashed potatoes. I also enjoyed the seasonal drink - Midnight Harvest. Our server Matt was the best.
