The fried chicken was fresh and good. The problem was the owner asked if I wanted a table I said I prefer a booth. She sat us by a very large group who were conducting a meeting while we were trying to relax and enjoy dinner. When we left I said something to the very snotty owner about it and she blamed me for preferring a booth she knew there was going to be a meeting and she could have said something to us but she didn't. I told her she should have let us know about a meeting and she said they come all the time and she doesn't need our business she has plenty of customers. So if your looking to relax and enjoy your meal I would avoid this terrible dirty restaurant that smells inside like urine. In some spots. The owner was very unprofessional for someone who claims to have owned the plac

Came here on a Sunday evening, it wasn’t busy at all. Upon arriving, my first impression was that this is a small town restaurant with an old timer dive bar inside, with lots of neon lights and slot machines. The decor is dated and generic. It could definitely use a complete remodel. They started us off with a basket of warm bread which was a nice touch. The bread was homemade but nothing special.

Our waitress was good, no complaints, she was attentive and the food came out pretty quick. We wil

We enjoy the place. I am sorry I haven't left a review sooner, like years ago! A lot of wine options; glass, bottle, 1/2 craft, whole craft etc. Today we had the special, roast duck and it was good. They offer a fair amount more than your normal bar food! Staff is always really nice.

Unfortunately we had a bad experience here. Bad part it was for my birthday. The food was not prepared to our satisfaction. Had to return my wives plate twice to finally get it almost right. My steak was cooked under what was requested and came out cold. The atmosphere was also dark and not fully cleaned. Wish it would have been better. Might try 1 more time to see if the experience is better and will give another review.
