Good food, good service.

Isn't it nice…read morethough when you don't want to make your traditional meal that you can visit this establishment and get a taste of your heritage. I ordered the pork and fried plantain twice (carne frita y tostones). They're pretty tasty. What makes it special is the very nice cashier that has always taken our order. I know they opened a few months ago and I am sure they will keep getting better. My one piece of advice is the following. When I first walked in all you can see is their fritters in the case (empanadas, I call them pastellillos, papa rellena (meat filled potato balls) and alcapuria. That's all I thought they had and I almost walked out, turned around and decided to try. As I was ordering my husband found one single piece a paper with menu. They had so much more to offer. So hopefully they can get large colorful images of their food and prices and have it fill their side wall. Other than that, Kuddos to this small business. Let's keep them open.

I went with the larger portion of prime rib, a house salad, and a sweet potato. My wife requested chicken cordon blue, a caesar salad, and french fries. Our salads were delivered quickly. Mine was very tasty and fresh. My wine was delicious and it paired well with my prime rib. Our dinner took about 30 minutes to prepare and was delivered hot. My prime rib was delicious. It was tender and cooked the way I requested. The ajou sauce was delicious as was the horse radish sauce. My sweet potato was very good. The skin was crispy and full of vitamins. Very very good! My wife's chicken cordon blue was also delicious. Both meals were super yummy and filling. The portions are large, so my wife had lunch the next day with her leftovers. Service was good. We had a great dinner!

The booth I sat in was ran down, you shouldn't sink into the booths when you find that perfect "@ss spot" being used for over 5 years. (Pet peeve of mines, this is why I hate booths). The menu is sort of all over the place with no cohesiveness. The price points for the quality and quantity is off for me, way off. I wanted the wedge salad but was told they have no ranch... "how don't you have ranch" I ordered the chicken piccata, it was nothing to write home about. Strike two when the waiter asked did I "need any salt and pepper, hot sauce". (Eyebrow raise, hot sauce!?!?) They warmed the frozen chicken breast up nice. The sauce was good but a burnt flavor lingered. Not sure if it was the sauce or the burnt vegetables. The mashed potatoes were congealed and flavorless. After I found a dime sized black flat ball of something in the mashed potatoes I had enough. I looked at all the beautiful dishes on yelp before I came here. ***WARNING*** if you don't see good pics and reviews within 10 months or so old, DONT DO IT!

Read a few of the reviews here and was not optimistic it was going to be a good experience, but when I walked in the door with my wife, we were treated with a huge smile and promptly seated belayed many of my fears. We came in on a Tuesday night at 5:30. The parking lot was already half full, that alone surprised me, as they were the only open business. The ambiance still has a 70's feel to it, but so what? Linens on the tables and comfortable seating, we got off to a good start. Ordered a glass of the house cab which wasn't half bad. Started with a side salad that was reasonably good, but nothing over the top. Our server brought bread to the table, but no butter until we asked. The bread was very good. Not sure if they make it in-house, but it was warm. Took a while to get our entrees. When they landed on the table, they were luke warm at best. Ordered both a chicken parm and an eggplant parm, as well as an Italian sausage on the side. The sausage was cold. The advertised linguine pasta morphed into spaghetti and the red sauce, though tasty, was sparse. Both parmesans were outstanding. Crispy, somewhat cheesy, and warmer than anything else on the table. It was clear to me that the mediocre service wasn't the fault of our server. She was hustling, just overwhelmed with the number of tables. When she brought our check, she apologized without prompting, which moved this review up from 3 to 4 stars. I will come back, but a little bit earlier in the day to beat the crowd, and will ask for a side of marinara. I'm expecting a much better experience. When we left, the parking lot was full...on a Tuesday night...in the middle of nowhere. Truly amazing!

There is plenty of space at the bar, at high tops in the bar area and in different dining room areas. Service is always top notch as servers are uniformly attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We have tried and enjoyed many items I'm in the menu. The playtime we went, she ordered two sides of risotto for dinner: mushroom and spinach. Very tasty and well prepared, she was happy and had plenty of leftovers. I recently enjoyed their NY Strip, cooked perfectly to medium rare with sides of asparagus and mushroom risotto. Delicious! We're been there many times but have never tried dessert because the meals are so filling. Drink menu is very good with plenty of wines and beer plus a full bar. Call ahead if at dinner times as the place fills up especially on weekends.

The hostess greeted us warmly and kindly walked us to our table. Our server, Cam, was excellent--very polite, attentive, and a great communicator throughout the evening. We started with three appetizers: the baked brie with poached pear, bang bang shrimp, and the French onion soup. All three were delicious and well seasoned. The baked brie with poached pear was especially amazing, and the French onion soup had wonderful flavor. For drinks, we tried the basil lemonade mocktail and white chocolate martinis. The martinis were fantastic--rich, chocolatey, and delicious. The mocktail was refreshing but could have used a little more flavor. For our entrées, I ordered the seafood pasta and my husband ordered the beer-battered cod special. His fish was perfectly seasoned and the batter was crispy and delicious. My seafood pasta initially came out a little dry and needed more sauce. When we let Cam know, he immediately communicated with the kitchen and they brought out a freshly made sauce right away, which made the dish much more flavorful and delicious. The atmosphere was great and the entire staff seemed friendly and professional. Overall, we had a really nice date night and appreciated the attentive service. We'll definitely be back again soon! If you'd like, I can also make a shorter Yelp version (which tends to get more engagement) or a funny/lighthearted version for date-night vibes.

Service was pleasant but very slow. Really enjoyed my cocktails. Brussel sprout appetizer also delicious Burger 2/10. Ordered medium, arrived well done-- dare I say, burnt. Bun was so charred I pulled the dry patty off and doused in ketchup. What was most concerning to me was that in the 90 minutes we were seated I watched two glasses get broken behind the bar, over top of the ice bin. The ice bin was never emptied. This is basic protocol per health department and osha safety procedures. I sincerely hope that the management sees this and uses this opportunity to retrain staff on protocol--- as a public health practitioner who has spent many years in hospitality this is a huge red flag.
