I like this place a lot. I have done a birthday dinner here. The food is good, and they do have a decent selection for dessert . Bar is nice, and so is their service.

My last 2 visits have been disappointing. I just had the chicken fingers and fries today. Blahhh, lacked flavor. The 2 side sauces helped a bit. Dessert was the only saving grace!

Been here twice. First time by chance, 2nd time on purpose lol. Short rib appetizer is to die for!!

The food was unbelievably good. Service was above par, and the price was right. We may be looking for excuses to come to New Brunswick
