WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

  • "Nice place to go to and enjoy the food , And drinks. The staff are attentive to the guest. The only thing I think and this is just a suggestion that at dinner time they will have the lights dimmed and maybe fake candle lights it would be nicer because it has to much lighting at dinner time. But besides that I’m very happy with this place and welcome to the community."
