2002: Happy the food and service was as good as we remembered. Will come back on a nice summer evening for dessert and coffee on the patio. Cozy corners upstairs are a fun option. Look forward to returning.
2005: Good service as alwasy. Food was overall okay, disappointed entrees not up to regular level.
