ErinJune 11, 2013A company tradition every time we come. Very nice staff. Great food. The Taste of History is a must try for at least 2 people.Upvote13Downvote
Lane RettigOctober 15, 2013A little over the top but a lot of fun and the food is delicious too. Great place to bring friends who are visiting. The classic dishes from the twenties and thirties are a safe bet!Upvote3Downvote
