    Very not pleased with the changed menu, if you guys have decided to not serve meat beside steak that should be made clear when people call and request a booking, make customers aware that your menu is only for certain races, no pizza, no wings no ribs at a restaurant that was serving it

    Had to wait 50 mins for food, but it was great and I asked for gluten free, which seem to complicate things

    Food is well priced, good value and met expectations. Wine however is outrageously overpriced! I can get better at high end fine dining in CT. You cannot sell MrP for 560 when estate sells at 187!
