    Great lasagna...however side salad is just iceberg lettuce and a slice of tomato... I would pass on that. Decent bottle beer selection, of which I had Sierra Nevada pale ale. Def a staple of buffalo.

    Lunch specials are great. Chicken Parm is the best! Regulars know that Chef’s has Birch Beer on tap - a treat!

    Service was good and food came out quickly but french onion and minestrone soup were luke warm. Sauce is very sweet. Portions are smaller than expected. Make a reservation

    House sauce has meat in it. If you're not big on red meat, be sure to specify plain sauce on your pasta.

    Lunch based on reviews Bread is great My husband's ravioli with a light marinara was ok. My chicken & broccoli alfredo was meh. Chicken nice & broccoli al dente. Truthfully Olive Garden is better.

    Everyone raves about the spaghetti parm but I always go with spaghetti and meatballs. Place is usually packed solid for dinner so make a reservation.

    Waitress at next table has stood at the table talking the entire time (> 40 minutes) to friends of hers, & gave them free desert. Ridiculous. My waitress was great though!
