The service staff was exceptional. They took great care of our 2-person table even though we lingered to catch up. Hot tea was delivered in a pretty mini-service tray for each person, which was a small detail but a huge point in their favor.

We were greeted at the entrance by very friendly hostesses who called us by our names! It was just like being at a private club!! The three of us had a very special time celebrating a 77 year friendship and a dear friend’s 81st birthday. Our waitress was truly extraordinary and made our luncheon perfect in every way. ( I wish I had written down her name which escapes me at this time.) The food was delicious! We loved a sample of the beer cheese soup served in a Demi Tasse cup, our wonderful steak salads, and the beautiful, delicious dessert platter complete with a small mini cake with a lighted candle!!! Oh my, it was the best birthday celebration ever!!! It’s a pleasure to know that there’s a still a great restaurant with excellent food and service and white linen tablecloths.

They sang happy bday to my friend right when she walked in and I signaled and they didn’t skip a beat! The portion sizes were so much better than what you get in marietta (we go there too) and I just really enjoyed the people at this location. It’s a drive for us but we will come back again.

Service was great except for the waiter stayed at our table way too long and talked way too much. Liked him but it was so excessive we felt like we didnt have enough one on one time. Bizarre since he had other tables. Would def go back but not be as friendly to the wait staff for this reason.
