As a local, this place is an institution. I can see how it was in day's past, but it has certainly gone way down hill.
We've been here many times and after the last time we went there, I can truly say I've seen the ultimate downfall of this restaurant and we will never go back.
The food is hit or miss. Sometimes it has been good (never great) but again, as of late, it's been mediocre at best. In the past, the ambience and venue made up for only "good" food... Not anymore.
Cold artichokes, frozen seafood, bland sauces... I'll pay top dollar for food- if it's worth it. However, the food has become nothing more than Olive Garden quality at an insane price.
I will say, the waiters and bartenders are friendly and attentive, however the owner is a rude old man who does not understand customer service and has a huge sense of entitlement. Just because your restaurant has been around for over 30 years does not mean that it will survive 30 more. Based on their Friday night crowd, I'd be surprised if it lasts more than 2 more years.
Truly disappointing that this place has turned into a joke.
