I was at a party and the food was horrible. If you go there just to have a drink and get something to eat it is pretty good. There was a party before ours and I have a feeling they just gave us the leftovers from the previous party the food was lukewarm and they brought the salad out after everyone was just about finished eating, but the waitress getting our drinks was fantastic.

Perfect low key place to get a warm and delicious meal with or without the family. I'm a fan of the pizza and the boneless wings.

Perfect place for a casual dinner. The fried calamari and garlic clams were delicious. The California burger was perfectly done. The staff is super friendly. It’s a great local spot for dinner after a long day at work.
