If you’re looking for a home cooked meal, i recommend the pork with gravy, mashed potatoes & whisky carrots. Very very delicious! Busy at restaurant because Thursday night young dancers perform. Well worth the time. No cover charge; but, donations are very welcome! Wonderful evening!

The location and view were great! We were there during "Big Game" pregame activities, so it was lively! It was great to see the patriarch of the family there. Our shrimp and scallop dinners were delightful. I also recommend the lobster bisque.
