    We love their classic menu but the specials this time were irresistible. My wife had the duck breast and it was perfectly cooked. I had the pork chops and really enjoyed them too. We swapped bites and agreed that we both made good choices. The service was excellent as always.

    Good solid meal and great service. Almost everyone had burgers, a couple overcooked (asked for medium rare and came more medium well). Service was good and our waiter was very attentive.
