Seating is limited and this proved a problem on Sunday night. If you have back problems then the bar area seating on backless stools is not for you. They had a special 2 for 15.00 can dine on Prime Rib. Problem is if 3 of you go, invite the homeless guy to come in with you as the third person... More

Went there on a Saturday night with a friend and they had a band playing. The music was really good and not too loud so it was still possible to carry on a conversation. Had a really great pear cider (so yummy!) and nachos. The nachos are HUGE but really good, the waitress was even nice enough to warm our... More

Both pies were stuffed with juicy chunks of meat and vegetables with a delicious crust. They were served with nicely done vegetables and hand cut fabulous fries. A lovely glass... More
