    It was Valentine's Day and it was the perfect place to spend the holiday! Food was delicious. We did feel a bit rushed, but that could have been that we were late in arriving and they were totally booked for the evening.

    They have changed their menu and it’s bery mundane and simple. Concerned and disappointed that the lamb chops were no longer on the menu. French fries were a a choice with lamb shish ka bob and they were very disappointing. A green salad withe the lamb was very average compared to the prior roasted vegetables avaiable on the menu. The meal as bery disappointing.
