One of my favorites for over 10 years. Everyone I bring here loves the food and atmosphere. Great deal and sizable portions. I especially enjoy their seafood appetizers, chicken salad, misc. fish dishes. Great Best Buns bakery bread basket. Delicious desserts including vanilla pudding (old-fashioned goodness) and chocolate waffle (one of my few fav rich desserts).

Overpriced, pretentious, overseasoned, stingy on things like bread portions. At the prices they charge, one roll and one tiny slice of bread are ridiculous. Why should you have to ask for more when their entrees are in the $15-25 range? Outrageous! And portion control is carried to a new level as well. C'mon guys--Stop being so chintzy and stop layering spices onto everything? We ordered steaks that were so salty and seasoned we couldn't eat them! Get real and start serving REAL food!
