I horrible place to eat, I ordered a medium rare prime rib and received a well done steak, my mash potatoes we quite old to where the gravy was starting to get hard on top the potatoes, I could old the container of them upside down and they wouldn’t fall out….. my vegetables were well over done and very soggy. I Don’t recommend trying this place out.

Good food. Good service. Not sure how many people want to fork over more than $86 for steak and lobster though. I had to forgo the prime rib and chose shrimp scampi, which was excellent.

Old school excellent American food! Our party had omelettes and the snapper lunch. Everything was perfect. The service was so good --> like you can't usually get any more! Perfect timing like she could read our minds :D Howard was right there, onsite, mixing perfect drinks (we sat on the bar side, there was also a nice comfortable family-dining side).

Everything about this place is dated, the food, the menu the building. The prices are high, but the food is decent. Portions we're a bit small this time, literally 1 zucchini slice 2 tiny pieces of cauliflower and some cabbage slices constituted a side of veggies. My dad likes to eat here because the food is consistently decent, and he likes that they have a salad bar. In short this is your grandpa and Grandmas style of restaurant. I had the calamari steak, with a baked potato, soup and salad bar. The calamari was pretty good, the baked potato was a little dried out,and the veggies we're skimped on. The salad bar was running low but they brought some more out for us, and I still love when a restaurant includes a scoop of ice cream with your meal.

They have good prime rib. The steaks are always cooked how I order them perfectly. The only issue I’ve had is there a bit bland and tasteless. But u kinda expect that at a restaurant. Other wise I’d say yes there pretty average. For a steak house. However there grilled shrimp scampi are to die for! Very very tasty every time and I have been eating there over 30 years!!
