    Wanted to love this place and maybe an off night, but the service for a Tuesday night was abysmal. I was embarrassed with inviting an out of town guest. Probably will not return.

    We’ve been coming to this restaurant for many years but unfortunately the food and service have gone downhill. The food was mediocre at best and the service was truly terrible. Suffice it to say we won’t be coming back. Do not recommend.

    We have been going there for years. It is unfortunate to see that the portions (such as for the omelettes) have been reduced significantly. Also, it would be nice to see some new items on the menu after all these years.
