This restaurant has not the best rating here on Yelp but on Google it does so off we went. We made a phone reservation. That person was personable and helpful. Upon arriving we were seated in a booth very quickly. I love the old feel of the place. They bring you complimentary bread. Soft and tasty. My hubs ordered the petite prime rib and a baked potato and I went with the salmon and also a baked. We opted for cups of soup in leu of the side salads because lettuce is a current concern in the US. Soup was delicious. My meal of salmon was incredible! My husband's prime rib was so fatty! Higher ratio of fat than meat. We informed our waitress who sent over the manager who kindly offered to rectify the problem. He decided to go with the salmon instead and enjoyed it as much as I did. Staff was friendly, apologetic and attentive. Not sure why these overall reviews aren't higher.

Worst burger I've EVER EATEN! It tasted like a frozen burger from the frozen food isle. And my bill was over $40.00 for one person, no drinks just food. Ambiance was that of a BAR! Noisy, loud. I will NOT be back. 1st and last time. Order taker said chips or F.Fries with the burger i said fries and was charged an additional $3.49!

My husband asked if they had syracuse pale ale, she said they did. When she came back she gave him the wrong beer but insisted he ordered something else. It was very strange, but perhaps she couldn't hear well because she also gave my daughter a lemonade instead of a pepsi. I saw someone walking by with popcorn, and asked if we could have some. It was soo good. Our food came quick. I ordered the broccoli bowl and it was very flavorful. The other meals were also very good.

Despite being really hot outside, it was nice and cool (actually, too cold if you asked my family) inside. We were quickly seated and our friendly waitress brought us menus and drinks. Food was average for a place like this. My chicken sandwich was much larger than expected and the bottomless fries (straight from a freezer bag) were fine. The price of $10 was perfect. My kid had a child's pizza that looked like something a school cafeteria would serve, but the many options for sides like applesauce were appreciated. My wife really enjoyed her steak. There must have been a special on Boubon steak as the wait staff kept walking by with plates of it. This place was exactly what we needed and we had a good time.

The waitress was very sweet about it though, and she kept the group hydrated with rounds of refreshing drinks while the kitchen slowly did its thing. When the food finally came out, it was solid. It didn't blow my mind, but I still cleaned my plate (or maybe because I was famished). The spinach salad was fresh and clean, and I was very happy with my French onion soup. The sauteed chicken with artichokes was a simple pasta dish cooked just right (although it could've used a little more seasoning). It's a solid 4-star dinner spot where the service charm does some heavy lifting and the food delivers without showboating. Just don't come hungry and in a hurry.

Strange but would be better without that and instead provolone cappicola banana or cherry peppers and a stone ground mustard. Fries are good both plain and Cajun and came out very hot!!
