    The shrimp carbonara will not be ordered again. Carbonara should have pepper, Parmesan and not be with steamed shrimp. Shrimp seared with garlic would be nice. The sauce was watery. I’ve made better. My husband was sad he didn’t order chicken supreme again.

    We especially liked the discounted smaller orders for seniors 60+. Still lots of food and good choices for entrees. The special is a 2 course meal with soup or salad and a choice of 4 entrees. Steak, chicken, salmon, or schnitzel. Excellent!

    I'm very disappointed as we celebrated and mentioned our 43 Wedding Anniversary as your reservation asked if this was a special event. Nothing was mentioned nor asked. The food was good. Service was okay; I expected better. The large table beside us was extremely LOUD! We knew their entire conversations. Not intimate at all. I would not go back.

    Celebrated 39 th wedding anniversary last night. Very nice place. Food was excellent !! Why are your liquor prices so high ?? It's not just you, but every restaurant. 3 glasses of wine was more than a third of the total bill....crazy. Will come here again but will be alcohol free.
