    Rice and curry with chicken - meat of your choice with 2 vegetable sides. Special house blend of spices & coconut milk.
    Lailah J.

    Beacon, NY - I can't believe I've let years pass between visits to Red Pepper Dinner, and still remember how my taste buds were blown away the first time. You won't find many Sri Lankan restaurants in the area, but you'll fall in love with this authentic family eatery with delicious, flavorful dishes such as nasi goreng, rice & curry, biryani, and kottu roti. Sri Lankan food shares familiarity with its Southeast Asian neighbors, and has notes of Indian, Malay, Indonesian, as well as a mélange of colonial influences, while maintaining its own cultural distinction and spice profiles. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. Last time we came, they even made a hopper on the house for my child to try, who also loved the buttery and flaky paratha. One of the most memorable restaurants for me in this area and I highly recommend it, especially if you're seeking something a bit less common!

    I loved this place, and this was my first time visiting a Sri Lankan restaurant. I got the hopper dish with chicken curry and the curry was light and herby which I loved - with a generous portion of chicken. Also the hopper was a new experience for me. These bowls made with rice flour are slightly sweet and not fermented ( like the dosa or injera batters). When we asked for a chili sauce, we got the sambal which was habanero based - that one's got a kick but yummy. The other dishes on the table were also well loved. This is a small establishment and we were served with such care and attention. The decor is as if you are in a living room from the 90s but well thought of. I also love that the tables are well spaced and not crammed. I am definitely trying other Sri Lankan places and next time I visit Beacon, this place will be on my list to try again.

    Appetizer Sampler (~$9)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Appetizer Sampler (~$9): 2pc fish cutlet, 2pc vegetable samosa, 2pc vegetable spring roll Deviled Chicken (~$19): sautéed with onions, pepper and traditional Sri Lankan spices; served with rice Sri Lankan Style Paratha with Goat Curry (~$20): with coconut sambol Aya's take: First time trying Sri Lankan cuisine and it just so happened to be during our day trip to Beacon! Red Pepper Diner is nicely decorated paying homage to Sri Lankan heritage. It looks like a home from the outside and feels that way when you step inside. We started with the Appetizer Sampler which was small. Nothing stood out to me or screamed "Sri Lankan" but it was a good way to start the meal. The Deviled Chicken was delicious! It was vibrant, aromatic, and full of spices! The Sri Lankan Style Paratha with Goat Curry was outstanding! The curry was delicious, the goat was tender and not gamey, and the paratha was flaky, buttery, and fresh. Sri Lankan cuisine seems like a mix of Indian and Asian influences, but a lot healthier. Less oils, less fats, and more guilt-free! Great spot to check out if you're in the area.

    First time trying Sri Lankan food -- and I did not expect to have this kind of experience in Beacon, NY! From the outside, it feels like you're walking into someone's home, and the inside has that same cozy vibe. We came on a Sunday around 1 p.m. after hiking for some fall foliage and were happy to find seats available. There was just one person taking orders, so it took about 5-6 minutes to place ours, but that gave us time to really look over the menu. Here's what we tried: * Appetizer Sampler - 2 fried fish balls, 2 spring rolls, and 2 small veggie samosas. (7/10) * Deviled Pork - Must try! Perfectly crisp edges with a slightly chewy texture, full of flavor -- sweet, savory, not greasy -- all over fluffy yellow rice. Absolutely delicious and not that spicy. (10/10) * Hopper with Goat - The hopper itself was so interesting! It's a thin, bowl-shaped pancake to pair with the goat. (8/10) * Sri Lankan Tea with Milk - As a milk tea lover, I was so happy. The ginger and spice blend gave it such warmth, and they even serve it with a piece of brown rock sugar if you want it sweeter. (10/10) * Watalappan - A spiced coconut flan with cashews for crunch -- rich, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. (10/10) * Kiri Peni - High-quality yogurt drizzled with a light sweet syrup -- simple but so good. (9/10) The food came out fairly quickly, and we were done by 2 p.m. The portions are on the smaller side, but with an appetizer, entrée, and dessert, we left feeling satisfied and not bloated. This makes sense since they take pride in using just spices to cook without oil. Prices are a bit high for the portion size, but I would still consider it a gem in Beacon. I'd definitely come back to try more entrées in the future and check out a spot in the city! IG: Jubes111 Youtube:JujubiFam

    Check it out! This place is great. Nice simply delicious food. Very vegetarian friendly. Some flavors I've never had before. Ignore reviews about the ambiance not being good, they've moved locations to a very nice places. Homey simple vibe. Great service and good, very enjoyable dinner.

    Outside

    4.5ish really. The place is cute and decorated as one would expect a sri Lankan restaurant in the middle of suburbia. Outside there is a mural of sigiria, a world heritage site in Sri Lanka. Inside there's the tiki painting of an elephant procession, and q large tb set to a sri Lankan cooking channel. On a Sunday at 6:30pm, the place was empty. The owner/ chef/ waiter greeted our group and gave us time to figure out what we wanted. His son helped a bit with the drinks while the chef was cooking. I applaud his efforts! Okay, onto the food. The chick pea appetizer was very mildly flavored, and for me, someone who appreciates the punch of flavor from sri Lankan food, I was disappointed. My friends who don't know sri Lankan food, loved it. So, I guess the chef was catering to the more common palate of the area. The fish cutlets were absolutely delicious! Perfectly spiced and fried tuna balls... one of my friends found them too spicy... The veggie spring roll was like any you'd buy at Costco.. the veggie samosas had a nice thin shell, and the filling basic. The stars: they had hoppers!!! For this reason alone come here. Sri Lankan restaurants are rare here, and serving hoppers whenever you want is even rarer! Hoppers, for those that don't know, are somewhere between a pancake and a dosa.. each one is individually made, therefore very time consuming.. the order came with 3 regular hoppers and an egg hopper. This egg hope was different in that the egg was scrambled, I've usually had then sunny side up.. it wasn't bad though, just different. It also came with a curry of your choice and a bit of pol sambal. I asked for a sri Lankan spiced level fish curry. It was delicious, but not sri Lankan spiced level, it was very mild by sri Lankan standards... and I get it, he's catering to the majority, but when someone asks for sri Lankan levels, they should be sri Lankan levels. He said that recently someone had severe heart burn from the spice. So, I suggest he just confirm with customers...I was looking for the heat... The shrimp curry, was more of a broth.. an extremely delicious broth that was literally drank after the shrimp was eaten. The string hoppers where made with white rice flour. The pol samba was warm and, again not spicy. The eggplant was fantastic! The kutto roti was mushy and very mildly flavored..I was disappointed with it. The pol roti was very firm and had an almost nutty flavor. It was good. The black tea hit the spot, especially with the molasses brown sugar cubes to suck on. If definitely come back of in in the area.

    I love going to this place. It feels like going to someone's home for Sri Lankan food. The ambiance is very homely vibe. The service is great. Everything is super fresh. Owners greet you with a big smile and walk you through the menu if you have any questions. Pol roti - delicious. String hopper - great Veg meal -- delicious. I can eat it every day. So comforting.

    Pol Roti with chicken curry - Yukky, hard thick cardboard-like roti
    Lala C.

    We gave it a go and love exotic foods. I'm not sure why this place is so popular because the food is just barely, Ok? We tried the Rice & Curry Specialty dish, the Pol Roti with chicken curry, mango lassi and Watalappan for desert. The specialty plate was descent but nothing delicious, just fair. It just wasn't the delicious blend of spices, just ok. Edible but not, oooh, I want more. The vegetable sides were the same, not anything outstanding or good, just fair. We love all types of curry from around the world so we are open to different foods at all times. I just couldn't recommend this as good. The Pol Roti was hard thick circles of hard bread, similar to thick cardboard. The curry was a tiny cup of watery salty curry (pretty bad) Just not appetizing at all. Nothing to brag about with this combo. The sambal was not rich and spicy as a sambal should be. So disappointing since we love sambal because of the rich blend of slices. It was pretty bland. For $15.99, it was sooo not worth half that price. More like a small appetizer that we would never order again. The desert and mango lassi were the only two things that were good. We left starving and pretty shocked since we expected great food from the reviews. Wish we could praise this place since I know they work hard but it just didn't pass the test. Sorry, but honesty is the best policy.

    Deviled Specialties
    Johnny N.

    After passing car dealerships, a Mavis Discount Tire, a laundromat, a Family Dollar, and a Car Wash, I arrived at the Sri Lankan promised land. Red Pepper Diner is a small brick building that looks more like a house or apartment building than a restaurant, but I find these types of restaurants generally have the most character. I walked in at 5:35pm to avoid a dinner rush, but when I opened the brown door, the place was dead. It was only 2 other patrons and I. I stood there awkwardly for a bit as there was no host stand or anything, and just took in the ambiance: Colored tablecloths covering the 8 or so tables with big round placemats at every seat, a few Buddha statues on the window sills, the walls littered with colorful paintings and newspaper clippings with glowing reviews of the place, and a TV playing Sri Lankan ASMR sounds and cooking visuals. It felt more like a spiritual center or a spa than a restaurant. After about 30 seconds, the owner came out and met me with a big smile and a "Just for 1?" He welcomed me to sit anywhere, and I opted on taking a 4 top in the corner as it had the least amount of seating. I sat down with a view of the Foam & Wash Car Wash to my left, and was handed a menu. Off rip, I loved the menu as it was filled with pictures of the food items. I'm sure some people find this tacky, but I love to be able to see what I'm about to order...and don't even get me started on QR codes... The owner was doubling as my waiter, and I asked him what the move was. He kind of recommended everything ahahaha so I just went with one of the House Specialties (Deviled Pork), as I wanted something Sri Lankan authentic, and the Sri Lankan Special Fried Rice because who doesn't like fried rice... I also got an appetizer sampler because I'm a beast. I know what you're thinking, yeah fine, I was a little chunkster... But I came all the way out here and had already logged 20,000 steps by this point so whatever. When I asked the owner if this was too much food, he furrowed his brow and said "No! Just take whatever you don't eat to go..." This was the exact answer I wanted as we both know this was way too much food for one person ahaha. Sometimes I just want someone to tell me what I want to hear. Respect. After ordering and sipping on an Authentic Sri Lankan beer, the food began to roll in. The appetizer sampler was my first victim, with the Vegetable Spring Roll being the standout. Next was the Sri Lankan fried rice with an egg on top, and the presentation was beautiful. It was an amalgamation of fried rice with shrimp, calamari, and chicken garnished with spring onions, fried onions, and fresh coriander sprigs. It was DELICIOUS. I tried to do one of those sexy yolk videos where the egg pours over the rice, but it FLOPPED as I didn't commit hard enough to the slice ahahaha. After I demolished the meal, the owner came over and picked up the clean plate and said, "Look, no oil. Our ingredients the best!" in his heavy accent. He wasn't lyin though! The deviled pork came last, and it was essentially just pork with sauteed onions, peppers, and Traditional Sri Lankan spices. I love how simple, yet flavorful these dishes were. It was filled with flavors my tastebuds have seldom come across, but was fantastic. It was at this point I think the owner saw me taking pictures of the food with my Canon G7X camera, and really turned the hospitality up to 11 ahahahaha. I was pretty full at this point as I had just MOGGED two entrees and an appetizer sampler, but he brought out an authentic Sri Lankan dessert called Kiri Pani for me to try. Kiri Pani is a buffalo curd with a palm sugar syrup. It wasn't for me to be honest ahahaha. My tastebuds felt violated. I did the thing where I kind of mash it around to make it look like I ate more than I did. The food was really starting to settle, so I was FULL at this point. And after that Kiri Pani I just wanted the check, but he brought out another Sri Lankan dessert. I felt like the grinch judging the Who Pudding competition where they are just stuffing desserts in his face as he is just trying to survive ahahaha. But actually, it was super nice and thoughtful. He came over and explained to me what it was but I was so focused on locking in to eat this next dessert that I didn't really hear him. It was something light wrapped in a green little tortilla that tasted coconut flavored. I finished all of it because I'm a warrior, and because it was pretty tasty. I got the check and the owner came up and gave me his business card, and asked me to write reviews on Yelp and google ahahahaha like bro that's literally why I'm here. I got a quota to hit. I paid the $59 tab and walked out. I almost went in the Family Dollar just for shits, but a wise man once told me to stay out of Dollar Stores after the sun goes down.

    Seating and a few paintings

    First time trying Sri Lanken food. This place was SOOO tasty and healthy. I had the fried rice house special and they gave me a lot of meat that was packed with flavor. The service was so friendly and let us know what was popular. The ambience was calm and reminded me of home.

    My only regret is this restaurant isn't closer! They were playing a relaxing video of the Sri Lankan countryside which set the mood. The server was a bit brusque but he seemed knowledgeable. More importantly everything was delicious -- dhal vade (crunchy!!!), Sri Lankan tea (with milk and a bit of fresh ginger!), watalappan (like a spiced version of flan!!!), deviled pork (super tasty), and OMG the rice and curry goat was outstanding! This is well worth a trip to Beacon!

    Not just good - GREAT. Fresh, the most authentic flavors, family run, the warmest mom coming by to say hello, fresh flowers decorating the space - I need you to open a spot in NYC PLEASE! We had the fish cutlet, the dhal vade, the beef curry with string hoppers, and the chicken biriani. All 10 outta 10. I'll be back in Wappinger Falls just for this.

    I can't eat indoors due to immune deficiency. Is there any outdoor dining?

    Unfortunately not

    Is the buffet only weekends? Or everyday?

    It's only on weekends.

    Is it noisy on Friday evenings?

    No, it's not that kind of place. It's great food & a quaint date place.

    Do they have a buffet every Saturday and Sunday? What is the price? Thanks in advance :)

    Order from the buffet. I ordered from the menu and they we're grabbing food from the buffet to make my dish 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Update: We went back almost immediately because we couldn't stop talking about the first meal, and…read moresomehow it was every bit as amazing. The lamb shank was absurdly tender, the baba ganoush was smoky and rich, and yes, the ezme, beets, and pita remain mandatory ordering. But what really sets this place apart is the heart behind it. On a hard night for our family, a simple unexpected dessert brought genuine comfort and a smile when we needed it most. They don't just feed your stomach here. They feed your soul. I would go to war for this restaurant. An absolute gem, genuinely some of the best food I've had in the area!! I don't write glowing reviews lightly, but this place absolutely earned one. From the moment the food hit the table, it was obvious this was something special. Every single thing we ordered, from the mezze sampler to the drinks to dessert, felt like the best version of itself it could possibly be. Not one weak note. Even the pita bread was memorable. Warm, soft, fresh, lightly charred, and worthy of praise in a meal FULL of standout dishes. The mezze sampler was EXTRAORDINARY. The beet and goat cheese was one of those bites that makes you stop mid-conversation. The goat cheese was fresh, creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced by roasted beets that were unbelievably sweet and luscious. Honestly, they were almost candy-like. I don't know what they did to prepare them, but they were incredible. The spicy vegetable dip, Esme, was bright, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Fresh, zippy, and balanced with just enough heat. The eggplant dip was equally impressive, with a silky texture, subtle tartness, mellow tomato notes, and that gentle pleasant bitterness that makes eggplant so satisfying when it's done well. The hummus was ridiculously creamy and rich with tahini, giving it a deep nutty flavor that made it one of the best hummus dishes I've personally had. We also ordered the Turkish manti, and they were fantastic. Little handmade parcels topped with cool yogurt and warm spiced oil that brought everything together beautifully. We didn't even manage to take a picture because by that point we were so completely absorbed in the meal that all manners disappeared and we just devoured them immediately. No photo. No pause. Just instinct. That might be the strongest endorsement I can give. The mint lemonade was perfect for a warm day. Bright, refreshing, tart, cooling, and mint-forward without being overly sweet. It tasted clean, balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Dessert completely sealed the deal. The Turkish revani was unbelievably soft, soaked through with milk, and had that luscious almost tres leches quality that makes every bite melt away. The fresh berries and raspberry sauce gave it just enough brightness and acidity to balance the sweetness beautifully. I had a cup of black tea with it, and the combination of cake, berries, and tea was one of those simple little moments that feels kind of magical. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Tasteful decor, warm atmosphere, and thoughtful design that feels welcoming without trying too hard. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuine. More than anything, the whole place feels like a labor of love. What blows my mind most is that this restaurant has apparently been here for over two years, and we somehow only just discovered it. We were legitimately mad at ourselves thinking about how many meals we could have had here already. Now we're just trying to make up for lost time!! For roughly $80 for two before tip, the value was outstanding. At first glance, the menu might look a little upscale, but once the food arrives, it makes perfect sense. The quality more than justifies the price. I've had good Mediterranean food before. This is operating on a completely different level. Without question, this is some of the best Mediterranean food I've had anywhere in the area, and I can't wait to go back.

    Another amazing restaurant in Hudson Valley. This was unassuming from the outside. The stores next…read moreto them are either empty or closed and the location, it's next to the Home depot, that when you park in front of the place, you feel like you're the only one eating there.. not a good first impression for a good restaurant. We went for dinner at 6 pm on a Saturday, we thought we were the only ones there, again because of the empty parking lot. There were a few people already seated. We didn't have any reservations, and I thought - Why would we? We started with the appetizers, babaganoush and calamari. Both were good. My wife and I had the mixed platter for two. All the meats were tasty, seasoned well and weren't dry. For dessert, I tried the affogato, espresso over ice cream and that hit the spot. Overall, we were impressed. People did start coming in after 6 so it's best to reserve a table especially if you have more than 4 in your party. The don't serve liquor so it's BYOB!! For some, that might be the important thing to note .

    What a wonderful discovery! My husband and I were driving back from car shopping and we were both…read morehungry because we hadn't eaten all day, so I typed in "Steak" on Yelp and up popped Stone House Grill. I took a quick look at the ratings and the food photos and that was enough for us to set the GPS for the Stone House. Entering, we were greeted immediately and made to feel very welcome. The dining room was lively but we had a nice table and soon had water and bread, which came with a delicious sauce of some kind that had vegetables and cheese in it. It was so good they should sell jars of it! We ordered some shrimp cocktail to start (those were some giant shrimp, although it was only three and four would have been a nice even number) and then I had the rib eye for my main. It doesn't come with anything so I ordered fries on the side. That steak was outstanding! The flavor, the texture...everything was amazing. It came out on a sizzling skillet and it tasted as good as it looked. It was also so big that I took half of it home for lunch and if possible, it tasted even better the next day. I was very pleased. The fries were also exceptional and even though the serving was big, I ate them all. I couldn't help myself! Since I took half of my steak home, I decided there was room for dessert and the chocolate mousse didn't disappoint. The food was so good and the service was so warm and friendly, I definitely want to go back to Stone House Grill. If you're nearby, stop in for a meal. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    I had to laugh reading the reviews of Hudson Shawarma that said servings were small; they must've…read moretaken that to heart because, whoowee, when I ordered the chicken shawarma platter (comes with rice and a small salad), it was a really generous serving! The spices are delicious without being overpowering. The rice is fresh and slightly flavored. Appreciate the small salad, although that is tiny -- it's kind of like they're saying, "Listen, if you're going to pound all this chicken and rice, at least PRETEND to have a vegetable with it..." The raita that goes on top is different from any raita I've had; it's a bit tangier/yogurtier (yes, it's a word), and I really like the way it compliments the flavors of the spices. Was with someone who got falafel and they said they really enjoyed it, too. I wasn't really listening, to be honest, I was knees deep in chicken and rice. So good!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fries were "freshly" fried, as in they fried the fries after I ordered instead of giving me a cold batch. The gyro wrap was also pan fried so it was very crispy and delicious; a perfect balance to the beef shawarma. The two owners were very friendly, checking which toppings I'd like, and seeing if I needed additional condiments.

    I was so fortunate to find this amazing restaurant, about a mile off exit 8 on I84…read more The owners are so friendly, kind, and ready to share thier culture. The two times I've been in, they've brought out samples of thier menu items to try. I've ordered various things on the menu: hummus, lebneh, falafel wraps, falafel platters, baked kibbe platters, the green bean side, etc. All have been amongst the best Lebanese food I've tried. I want to expand and try more things, like the chicken and beef kafta. If you have questions just ask. Certain platters come with different items. Some rice, some salad, etc. Thier pita is fresh and delicious, and comes in different sizes. They have a decent sized dining area for dine-in, and the take-out area is right as you walk in the side door. Here you will also find a grocery area with Lebanese essentials. The selection is sizable, and offers items you won't find in a regular grocery store. I stocked up on spices, and coffee. Prices are reasonable, and portions are generous. I will return every opportunity I get.

    Not only did I learn of this place's existence tonight but I also learned how much my Dad enjoys…read morelive jazz. My Dad was chomping at the fucking.bit to hear some jazz tonight and as a result, we found out about this place. One of my favorite things about visiting nOLA is the jazz and I almost feel like it's the twilight zone that i can have the live Jazz experience in my home town. Not only that, but everything about our experience, start to finish, was amazing. They enticed us with the live jazz outside..As all of their tables were taken up, our initial strategy was to sit at the bar and hopefully be able to hear the music from inside. Not only did they have a whole band INSIDE the bar playing for those patrons, but we were given the choice of them literally building us a table outside. You can't really go wrong with either choice but due to the absolutely perfect weather outside and my mother's panic phobia about covid, we elected to sit outside. They straight up brought a table and four chairs outside for us to enjoy the band playing outside. The temperate fall air and lively Jazz is an ambiance that is few and far between. We had initially planned on just ordering drinks but were selling what we were buying and dropped a few food menus and had us eating out of their hand. They legit had MOZARELLA FRIED ZUCCHINI B LOSSOMS, some delicious vegetarian ravioli, arancini, and honestly whether you're into steak or farro and kale salad, they can push your.buttons, Both of my parents ordered a spring-roll-like appetizer, one with salmon and one with veggies (extra brownie points for the vegetarian option). My parents some how missed the fact that they were ordering from the appetizer menu and were disappointed in the portion size but absolutely adored the dish. . Even though I talk up and down for about 99% of the time about the fact that I'm "on a diet now" I'm actually full of shit when it comes down to the wire and I absolutely could not resist ordering their fried mozzarella zucchini blossoms which were enveloped in a delicate but delicious outer crust with creamy cheese and zucchini blososms. They were served with an orgasmic tomato sauce with a little touch of pesto. The food was the perfect complement to the musi. They have an interesting cocktail menu as well. I couldn't resist ordering their Frenesi with tequila, lemon juice, cinnamon syrup, apple bitters, hard cider. This was served in a cocktail glass with little floating (what I'm assuming is cinnamon fits that almost looked to be sparkles. It was such a beautiful drink and had such a unique flavor. GF initially ordered the All That Jazz with rye, calvados, Demerara syrup, peychaud's bitters,, ango bitters, and up in smoke however we were informed that they did not have all ingredients to make this drink. She went with her second choice, the Jam Session with bourbon, lemon, stone fruit syrup, peychaud's orange peel, Brandie's cherry. I tried this and as a strong bourbon drink, wasn't my immature palate's favorite but I appreciated the combo of bourbon and fruit flavor. Our server was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to make sure our experience was as excellent as it could possibly be. My Mom was literally obsessed with him and couldn't stop commenting on how well he was taking care of us. Huge shout out to that man right there. I'm so excited that this place exists and GF and I have already decided to keep the local taxi on speed dial for further visits to this place. PS-sorry if this is filled with typos but I was literally too lazy to wear glasses while writing this so I am just typing and hoping for the best.

    Tried Lulu for the first time on Saturday. Excellent experience…read more It was right before the staff showed up for dinner service, so only a couple of tables were occupied. The menu is simple, but covers everything we love. Server came by with warm, fresh, fluffy seasoned pita and a dish of seasoned olive oil. Great start. Started with Cheese Borek and Fried Liver cubes -- The Borek was the best we have had and we order that anytime we dine Mediterrean. The 4 Borek were fat, fried to perfection, and their filling of Feta and spinach was hot, melty and super tasty. We love love Fried Liver, and Lulu does it to perfection. The portion was huge, and dressed with red onion and lemon juice, it sang. We decided to split an order of Manti, those delightful tiny lamb dumplings tossed with burnt butter and garlic yogurt -- holy holy. We ran some liver around that sauce, and were glad we saved some of the bread to sop everything up. So good. Ordered the Kunefe, as we always do. It takes about 15 minutes to get to the table -- so if you are thinking about it, order it before they take your dinner plates away. The Kunefe was good. We think they forgot to add to the syrup it comes in -- but maybe that's the way they do it. It won't disappoint, but I missed that rosewater sugar syrup we are used to. Different places, different recipes. In all, Lulu did not disappoint and we look forward to visiting again. Go, go go. And tip your servers well.

    Great food, great environment, best time to go is the weekends for live dj and great crowd.read more
