We we're told that they're BYOB so it made us look forward to our evening. This place is extremely cozy, have a decent size parking lot and a moderate size fire place right in the middle of the dinner area. Nothing at this place was too tacky or over done. We we're lucky enough to be hosted by a great host who was at the time training another server. Our host/server was extremely nice, pleasant and approachable. She definitely helped us with the menus and made our evening special by taking pictures of us per our request. We started off our dinner with Arugula salad and a French onion soup that I never had and been wanting to try. Both the salad and the French onion soup right off the bat beat our expectations. We then moved onto our appetizers and had the highly rated fried goat cheese and blue crab popper delights. Both of the appetizers were spot on. The appetizers set our expectations so high we decided to move on to some of their best on the menu. My wife picked the rack of lamb and I went with the cowboy ribeye. These main courses were very good. The ribeye and the rack of lamb was cooked to perfection. The rack of lamb with blackberry bourbon sauce was perfect choice for the rack of lamb. The steak was meaty, fatty and very tasty. I had my fingers crossed and just like I hoped the steak wasn't over cooked and was a perfect medium well. Our dinner experience was very pleasant and the food definitely met our expectations. Only disappointment we experienced was when it came to dinner the options were a lot, but a lot of cakes and pies. If you have a sweet tooth you'll definitely like their cakes, but if you're not then I wouldn't be too excited towards dessert. I hope this place really ups their dessert game and focus on quality over quantity. Overall our experience was great, dinner met our expectations, and the ambience was perfect for a cold winter evening. Must add the service was highlight of the evening. MUST TRY: Rack of Lamb, Cowboy Ribeye, Blue Crab Poppers, Fried Goat Cheese, French Onion Soup.

Lettuce in the Caesar salad was wimpy and bright yellow; no green leaves. Should have been served already tossed with a better dressing and shaved Parmesan cheese used. It was an over priced diner salad($8). House salad looked a little better. Meatballs appetizer looked unappealing; no sure how they tasted and again over priced. Lobster ravioli seemed to be enjoyed by friends that ate it. I had Ahi tuna served on top of salty humus and a side of sweet roasted carrots with a few pieces of mixed greens a two cherry tomatoes( not sure what this was about but it was not a good mix with tuna). I asked for broccoli instead but it did not come out with plate but waitress brought a few florets out. The one order of short ribs looked nice and was excellent in taste. It was served on to of garlic mash that were not that tastey and grey looking; not fluffy. Rolls were served with a sweet butter; not sure if it was supposed to be a honey type but it just was very sweet. The cordon blue was a breast stuffed and deep fried-looked just worst than a diner. The meteranean chicken was similar a fried breast stuffed with 'stuff' with greasy risotto This should have been a healthy dish ; I do not recommend. Waitress said all desserts were homemade. The cheesecake was good. The coffee was really good and turned out to be Maxwell house brewed in a Mr. Coffee machine. I won't come back here. Plate presentation needs improvement and side dishes as well. We were all looking for some chicken wings there which we remember from the old days. Good efforts but the prices charged do not match the quality and presentation of you get. I was expecting more and coming from New York City ; a lot of improvement in food served is really needed. Good luck!

We show u at 8:15 don't get seated till 8:50 which was fine but... when we sat down the waitress said you have to order appetizers dinner and dessert now because the kitchen closes at 9pm. Being that we were hangry at this point we stayed. The food was ok they were out of 3 different things we tried to order so we just said maybe next time we'll come earlier. Ok so next time was today. I went on their website to make a reservation it lead me to open table. On open table it said they don't take reservations ok so we'll go at 5:00. We park and walk up a hill walk into an empty restaurant and were told they are booked with reservations. I said I tried to make one on open table and the manager said oh we're not on that anymore. We were 4 people and I swear there had to be at least 40 tables empty. My friend who was with us owns a restaurant and was shocked they didn't seat us. The did tell us we could order our food at the bar and carry it outside and eat on a couch but that was walking up stairs carrying our food and eating steak on our laps? What?!?! Look I get people make reservations but people also cancel them or don't show. How do you turn people away when your restaurant is empty?? We are in our late 60's I'm not carrying My food up a flight of stairs and holding my plate on my lap. This reservation thing also happened a few months back at their sister restaurant Settlers inn. We walked in the restaurant it was completely empty and they wouldn't take us because we didn't have a reservation. Wow just wow! And don't even say you didn't have a reservation because I waited 45minutes when I did have one.

For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmigiana over linguine, and it was cooked to perfection. The chicken was crispy yet tender, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the portion was generous.
