"This is a great family owned restaurant. Hard to find non-chain restaurants in the area. But I wanted to try this place as I am new to the area and we took my mom, husband, and my newborn baby. It has a very dated decor, but it is very cute Iin my opinion as it is like a grandma's decor. Anyways the food was really good and so were the cocktails. We ordered the meatballs and creamy polenta as an appetizer which was really good! I had the spiced butter shrimp with fettuccine, my husband had a chicken penne pasta, and my mom had a tortellini dish. Both my husband and I really enjoyed our dishes. The tortellini dish needed some more flavor, maybe some season salt or something. And fresh basil to go along with thw tomatoes. It wasn't bad, just lacking a little flavor. We all got garlic bread with our dishes which was really yummy and great to sop up our sauce from our dishes. The cocktails were really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the **** Mary! Spicy, with a nice sweet and salty rim on the glass. And of course tasty pickled goodies to snack on as you enjoy your drink. My mom loves lemon drops (especially raspberry ones) and they had lemondrops on the menu, and were able to make a raspberry one for my mom. She can be pretty picky about her lemondrops, and she LOVED the raspberry lemondrop that was made so much, she had 2 more! Husband had a carribean coconut cooler which had more pineapple flavor than coconut, but it was still tasty. He also had something with blue curaçao, lemonade or somethjng like that, and tea. I can't remember the name but it was also very good. This is a place I would definitely take people to who are visiting us and want to treat them to some tasty food that isn't a chain!"
