    The happy hour for drinks is lame, but come for the food which is amazing! There are too many menu items to name which are great and dessert is no exception. Yum food, boo happy hour.

    The Eggs Benedict is delicious. Highly recommend this and the Bloody Mary's. Spicy but good.

    The pork loin is always a good choice. Pastas can be disappointing. Skip dessert.
