Went here many years ago. Attended a birthday party and the food was excellent. Staff was eager to help and pleasant.

Cozy place, great selection on the menu. Had the French onion soup, amazing. Then the seabass Frances’s delicious 10/10 highly recommend this place!

I'd give zero stars if I could. New owners are horrible. Unfriendly, rude, and unaccommodating. My husband ordered a steak with a "Hunter sauce" off the specials menu. The steak came and the sauce was COLD! We explained this to the waitress - barely an apology. Sauce was completely bland with zero flavor. My husband then asked to switch his order since it was pretty much inedible. Meanwhile, my kids and I were already done. Two people came over asking if we needed boxes and I kept saying NO - my husband is still waiting for his meal!! A good 15 minutes goes by with no follow-up from the waitress, and she finally said "it's still cooking". My husband at this point doesn't even want it. We were all so disgusted. We told them just cancel it. Another 10 minutes goes by and the meal comes out in a tin to take home. They forced it on us because they didn't want to take anything off the bill. They refused to take it off the bill or comp us for anything. Horrible way to do business. We will never step foot in here again. We went here for years under the old owners and have been residents of Vernon for 20 plus years. What a shame. HEY GORDON RAMSEY, THIS IS YOUR NEXT HELL'S KITCHEN!!! I just read on another post, a long time chef was let go under the new owners. Word is getting around, and I'll make sure to keep spreading the word how awful this place has become.

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. The fajitas tasted like they hadn't cleaned the flat top since the day the place opened. My wife ordered pork, and started eating, then realized that it was lamb, which they charged us double for. Near the end of the meal, the "chef" strolled out wearing his apron outside of the kitchen (a big no no for food safety.) All in all, if I could give this place less than one star, I would. Don't eat here. Ever.
