Great place!
We arrived late at night and were pleasantly surprised to find live entertainment still going — such a fun atmosphere. The food and service were both quick and outstanding. Highly recommend!

the food was comparable to a tv dinner. not worth 45 dollars at ALL. Bread was hard and overcooked, portions were ridiculous. the only redeeming quality they have comes from the nice lady at the front. Other than that, do not waste your money unless you enjoy the taste of Marie Calanders microwaveable dinners.

Great food, great service, fast and efficient! We came in mid day for a couple appetizers- cheese bread with marinara sauce and loaded potato skins. Stan, Jay and Paul had it all under control! We will be back.

My family and I have been here twice and they have not disappointed. Each meal I have had is to order and tastes great. Wonderful environment and great staff.

The garlic bread I used to put my lasagna on top, as I couldn't cut the lasagna with knife and fork. Literally, ate it as a finger food (as did my husband) and neither of us finished it. It was take out, hotel - officially locals the next day. We will not return, it was strange. The garlic bread was the most decent thing. The young man that took the order was great, though.
Otherwise, No Grazie!
