The most pleasant dining experience I have had in years. My wife and I heard about the place having good food so we decided to give it a try. Upon pulling up in the parking lot we noticed a man in a nice suit standing outside of the restaurant and we immediately thought we were under-dressed wearing a button up shirt with jeans but as we got closer the man welcomed us and introduced himself as Chef Michael (the owner) and escorted us in. Once we were seated, the charismatic Chef Michael took the time to explain the different special offerings he had for the guests and made suggestions. He informed the waitress of our desires and went off to mingle among the other guests. We also were able to let ourselves off the hook as far as dress code as the diners were mostly casually dressed
The inside of the restaurant was cozy and we felt at ease. There was a piano player offering music for extra ambiance and then came along a person with a snare drum to set up..then a base player and hey, all of a sudden you had a 60's cocktail lounge setting going and soon thereafter, Chef Michael gets up and asks if he can sing a song...I mean, it's his place, so sure - why not? My wife and I were surprised on how fantastic he performed the song not only with a great voice but a ton of energy as he sang a song from My Fair Lady... Now, I must say, my wife and I were the youngest in the place at this time of day (6:00 pmish) and despite being the youngins of the crowd, we were probably having the most fun out of everyone there! It felt like you were at a place the Rat Pack would have hung out in. The food was great as well with large portions and I blame Chef Michael for that second batch of garlic bread he had brought to us for not being able to finish my meal.
Overall, this place was the most enjoyable eating experience I have had in years. I totally loved it and will be back!
