Man this place is really a mixed bag.
The pros:
Service is excellent. Bruschetta is really good, and the dishes I have tried have all been from good to great. Good specials and very reasonable prices.
The cons (and unfortunately they are SO con they bring it to 3 stars):
If you have ever seen the show restaurant impossible and the big muscle man walks into a place for the first time and is stunned by the decor that is this place! This is definitely your grandma's house with less character. Stuff everywhere, no consistent theme, pastels, dark corners, and the list goes on.
As others have said, Surprise is a mix of young families and retirees/snowbirds. If you go to this place during snowbird season and you are under 60, you are GOING to be the youngest person there. I can deal with that, living here you get used to it from Nov-April. What I do not like is what seems to be a constant attitude by the clientele of this particular restaurant. I do not see this at other establishment in Surprise that the snowbirds frequent. Another review said you will get "the eye". I get more like the evil eye! I have 8 & 10 year old kids who we have taken here and that mere act gets you dirty looks like you just invaded their personal space by entering the door. I cant quite put my finger on why THIS restaurant seem so much more intensely snowbird driven than others, but it is enough to keep from going back more a few times a year.
