   We had a fantastic meal here. Mushroom soup was so tasty. My husband's steak was perfection. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    I visited this restaurant today, and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The service was subpar, starting with the waitresses who were unprofessional in their approach. At one point, one of them leaned across our table and even over my plate of food to deliver a dish to another guest. It felt intrusive and uncomfortable. Additionally, the timing of the meal was off. Our food did not come out together, which made for an awkward dining experience as we waited for various dishes to arrive at different times. To make matters worse, our waitress seemed unfamiliar with the menu and struggled to answer basic questions about the options. Lastly, I noticed the manager standing at the bar, eating tmwhile the staff were chatting amount there’selves. This lack of leadership and attention to detail did not inspire confidence in the overall operation. Given the poor service and disorganized atmosphere, I cannot recommend this place. There are certainly better dining options nearby where you can enjoy both good food and service.
