This is a great place for a very casual party! Johnny is just delightful and helpful. They did a fantastic job, even decorating the area with "Happy Birthday" signs and ribbons. The food is REALLY GOOD for a traditional "bar menu". Terrific. And a real "fixture" longstanding in the community. Happy to support something other than a chain restaurant!
Place is definitely not "elegant". Kind of a little bit of a dive bar, but very warm and welcoming. Not at all unhappy....it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Johnny!
