    The Veal Holstein was probably the best of any meal I have had, at any of the restaurants I have been. I would eat that everyday, maybe twice a day. My friend loved her chopped salad with prime flat iron steak. The drinks came fast and perfect. Stella was so nice and she told us she would have the chef know we were going across the street to the show. There was not one thing to complain about in that whole restaurant experience ! But better ..everything was wonderful. Great job!

    Table for 9 with reservation . They were able to accommodate an earlier reservation change at a moments notice on a graduation day. We appreciated the accommodation. Food was excellent. Apps and happy hour drinks were dynamite. Our server was so sweet and attentive. One of our meals was delayed but its was understandable as the entire restaurant was full of college graduation parties and seated approximately the same time. Love this restaurant and wish I discovered it before my daughter graduated . Highly recommend ! Next time we are in the area we will come back .

    We were here for an event and ate here a few times. It wasn't ever busy enough to need reservations. The NE Clam Chowder and Short Rib Grilled Cheese were fantastic! The service can be a bit slow, but we weren't in any rush.
