  1. Came here when they still did the breakfast buffet a few times and the food was pretty good.

    Would be willing to try one of their other buffets and update my review when that happens.

  2. Came here for the Mother's Day "brunch buffet". The reason for the quotes is that we had a 4pm reservation, their latest seating option, and they were still serving a whole brunch variety — eggs, French toast, pancakes. I could literally do breakfast food at any meal, but it was just strange walking in with the mindset of dinner and opening the covers to find breakfast.

    They did offer some dinner items, chicken Francaise, salmon, and penne vodka. Overall the food was okay. Maybe also because we were there on the later side that it just seems a little bare. Also, the area to get all of the buffet items was a little crowded but that was only temporary.

    Bar service was slow, but drinks were good. Desserts was where it was at for me — spread of cheesecakes, pastries, cookies, and more. I was happy. End of the day, would not return for a special occasion, just think the buffet could have been better

  3. Walked in for Happy Hour last night and I felt like I was on the set of the show Cheers where everybody knows your name.  The place is a family owned classic steakhouse with a friendly bar scene of locals.  The sincere pride, passion, and concern of the owners to ensure your experience is nothing less than perfection is a level of customer service not seen today.  As i was there for happy hour, I did not have a steak, but my burger was impressive.  They have awesome happy hour deals and a solid bar menu, which is a must.  I read many concerns on the prices, but this is what you would expect from a classic steakhouse with the cuts they are serving.  If you want a cheap steak, then your better off going to Applebees or Outback, but if you want a quality elegant steakhouse then this is your stop.
