    The smoked salmon deviled eggs were delicious and you can’t skip the homemade biscuit. Worth the extra calories!

    The food was okay not worth the cost. Our waitress was good and the front maitre d was excellent, but the person who brought our food was terrible. May go again to see but not impressed
