I am a frequent diner here and they always accommodate my special request for a booth. The food never disappoints. We had crab cakes, skirt steak, tge chicken cordon bleu special, NY style cheesecake, and lots of drinks! Fun and tasty. Stephanie, our server was primo.

This is our go-to pre-theater spot. The food is always good, there's something for everyone (even out-of-town guests), the service is always superb, and we always get our check in time to make the show. I'm partial to their Caesar's salad and burger, and the hot fudge pudding dessert, but all the guests I've brought here have also enjoyed their meals (salmon, pasta, you name it).
