Food was good as usual. Calamari is lighter than most places and they always have good beers on draft. We usually come in for lunch add dinner is a bit pricier. I ordered the beef short ribs but would order the chicken dish next time.

We came in close to when their lunch hours were closing but we were warmly greeted and welcomed. We were encouraged to try the meatloaf and I have zero regrets. Hands down the best meatloaf I have ever had and I don’t even like meatloaf....Read More
