This is a very nice, upscale, chain restaurant. Had a very relaxed and enjoyable lunch with a carafe of the vinters' reserve blend. The short ribs were melt-in-the-mouth fabulous.

Wonderful food! Waitress was also wonderful and very accommodating. My only complaint would be to offer a side salad with the entree. Even at an extra charge would be fine. The Cesear salad was wonderful but way too big for 2 people to share as a side salad.
