Greek salad is good. Ambiance is comfortable and the prices are fair. Our waiter was nice and helpful. Burger was tasty as well.

First time visiting this location. Loved the environment. You can't beat a fireplace. I can see how this place can become busy and loud but that is part of the experience. I think next time, I will sit at the bar. Ordered the cheeseburger with fries. Burger was really good. You can tell it was homemade and not a frozen patty. Our waitress was very nice. I can check this off my list.

I love coming here great food, and customer service but a little over priced when a Coke doesn't have to cost $4.50

Great food! Great service! We went at 230pm to avoid lunch crowd. We tried Gyro app, delicious! We tried the wings and they were decent. My husband loves the wagyu beef burger! He said it was amazing! I had the tenderloin stake burgers and those were ok, I think the meet didn't have enough flavor for me. Overall great place to eat and I will definitely be back to try more items on the menu.

Went here with a group of 4. Was a nice place. Friendly service. Good food. I was excited when I saw saganaki! I love cheese! Sadly, I was recommend the saganki burger. I'd just go with straight saganaki if you are like me and really just want the cheese. But everything was great. Everyone really enjoyed their food.

Love this place! My boss takes each of us to lunch on rotation once a month or so, and we usually go here. The ambiance is awesome, especially on a nice warm day when they have all the windows open in the back area. The service is always friendly and efficient. And the food is great! My favorite is their kale salad with goat cheese and Granny Smith apples. Delicious. Always happy to eat here.

So we dined here this past March 2024 in the main restaurant with two other couples. It was loud, but manageable. We just dined here again with five other people, so there were seven of us and they sat us in the "Porch" section of the restaurant. I can't emphasize this enough: DO NOT SIT IN THE PORCH AREA It is so damned loud. It's basically a patio section that they made closed in with a large vaulted ceiling and a wall of large windows that open on one. side of the room. They crammed in a bunch of tables with the most uncomfortable seating they could find. When we were there, we were told it'd be air conditioned. Well, it was about to storm, one window was open, and it was warm in the room. We asked them to turn on the fans (which are small for the room and located way high up, so they push the air around but don't help with the stuffiness or excess warmth in the room. There was a large party with a child basically screaming her head off for the first 30 minutes we were there. SIDEBAR: if your kid is screaming, take them out of the damn restaurant. There are other people there. It's called "being considerate of others." However, it sounded like people we shouting in the restaurant. I've never said, "what" so many times during a meal. If we go back (and this experience really is a test if we do), we will NOT sit in the Porch. NOTE TO OWNER: Sound Dampening panels and flooring really helps dampen the sound. That's what they're used for. Geez.

I absolutely love their burgers and they always have new items. My favorite appetizer is their wings. If it's a nice day outside try to get some patio seats. Not to mention all the staff is extremely friendly.

Great local place, with a Wisconsin Supper Club-type vibe. I called on a Saturday afternoon and asked if we needed a reservation if we were there by 4:45 PM. She said no, come on over! We ran a little late, and didn't get there until 5:15 PM, and by then there were just two tables left. We chose the one farther from the door, and it was fine, but next time we'll get there just a bit earlier! This place is very popular! We started with the Saganaki, which was delicious. Our server flamed it at the table, which was fun since so many places don't do that anymore. Some very tasty bread was served - several slices, each of crusty white and pumpernickel - with a nicely ample serving of whipped butter. Our choice of soup or salad was the minestrone. It was hearty and yummy. We both ordered our entrées from their Specials menu - I had the Shrimp de Jonghe, and my husband had the Prime Rib. I loved that the shrimp came with just a side of buttered pasta, and nothing else. That with the shrimp was plenty for me! There were six large shrimp, ensconced in garlic butter then covered and baked with breadcrumbs. It was delicious. Also, much to my pleasure as it doesn't seem to be the case much these days, they had removed the full shell, so no need to forage with my fingers in the garlic butter to extract the tail shells. Yay! My husband's prime rib came with green beans, and his choice of potato, which was garlic mashed. It was a huge cut of meat, and he said it was very good. I did sneak a small taste, and would've preferred a little more peppercorn flavoring, but it was very good, and served perfectly medium rare. He was happy! I had their house Manhattan, and he had a mai tai. Both drinks were very good. We were too full for dessert, but that leaves something for us to try the next time!
