    These guys catered for a party of 30 people last night for my sons 30th. They tucked us away in a more private space and we had a great time.

    I had the lemon salmon spaghetti and my friend had the pesto chicken pizza which she loved. We also shared a soft fluffy perfect garlic bread. I have never tasted spaghetti so delicious before.

Before you head over

Helpful suggestions on timing, promotions, and outdoor seating for your visit.

  • Timing Peak Dinners

    On busy peak nights, the dining room fills up fast and kitchen wait times can stretch slightly; arrive early or leave extra time when dining before live band performances.

  • Targeting Weekly Specials

    Plan around popular promotional days, such as the $15 Wednesday steak special or the Saturday pizza and beer jug deal, which draw high turnout.

  • Outdoor Seating With Dogs

    Patrons dining with pet dogs can head straight to the outdoor seating area, where outside tables accommodate guests with pets.
