What Our Happy Diners Are Saying

The food and atmosphere were lovely. The highlight, however, was our server, Susan. She was friendly, professional, attentive and truly exceeded expectations. I'm always looking for great dining experiences when I visit my father. Will absolutely return.

We travel about 70 miles from upper Westchester and it is so worth it. They were following all safety protocols regarding COVID-19. Menu here is huge And they have specials too. Never rushed. Great service. Love it here.
