"My husband and I started dating 21 years ago in this restaurant! It is such an experience! Each room is unique and offers a beautiful view of the life enjoyed in this home many years ago. My husband, two daughters, and myself enjoyed dishes made tableside such as Steak Diane. The Chesapeake Fillets were delicious! The Alfredino pasta is mind blowing!! My favorite! Although I have enjoyed the restaurant for many years, we were blessed to have a server who has worked in the restaurant for 35 years!! Please visit this exceptional establishment and enjoy these pleasures for yourself!!"

"Talk about a smorgasbord because that's exactly what this is as they have a menu that has an abundance of different random items that you usually don't find under one roof! Of the many things here we've only gotten pizza and salad and I must say they were both super yummy and just hit the spot both times! Their pizza has a delicious sauce to it and a crust that makes it just that much better with bites of pepperoni and cheese you really can't go wrong! I've also ordered an antipasto salad and it too was yummy it had a good amount of meat with veggies making for what was totally good! Of all the places around here I've gotten pizza from this is the only one I've gone back to more than once as it's just yummy! Overall awesome small little place that's doing it right pizza wise who knows if I'll ever get anything else but it's sure not out of the question as you can't go wrong with some pizza and whatever else you might be craving!"

"The restaurant emphasizes homemade and locally sourced items, so we thought we were in for a treat. They offered a full bar with a nice selection of bottled and canned beers, along with a few on tap. I ordered a vodka martini, while my husband and friend opted for beer. So far, things were looking good. For an appetizer, we chose the pub fries, which were crispy and flavorful, and I particularly enjoyed the ranch dressing. The salads were fresh and tasty, with a housemade dressing that I liked. However, they were out of many entrée options, forcing us to make several selections before we found items that were available. My husband ordered a mushroom Swiss burger, I picked the NY Strip, my friend chose a crab cake, and my son ordered the spaghetti with a homemade meatball special. I heard the crab cake was good, but unfortunately, I didn't try it. My steak, however, was extremely disappointing. It was utterly flavorless—like it hadn't been seasoned at all—and incredibly tough and undercooked. I ordered it medium rare, but it was practically raw. The mushrooms and onions on top were blackened to a cinder. When I inquired about this, the server said that’s just how they prepared them. She did offer to provide another mushroom, but I didn't think it was worth it, especially since my husband had the same burnt mushrooms on his burger. The mashed potatoes accompanying my steak were also bland and oddly gray. I had been excited about the homemade mashed potatoes and meat from Groff's, having checked their website beforehand. My son's spaghetti and meatballs were not even spaghetti; he received rotini instead. He didn't mind as he's 11, but it was poorly executed and overcooked, making it slimy. To top it all off, this dish cost $15. In total, the three of us (my friend paid separately) spent $90 on food that was mostly inedible. I understand the restaurant may be in the process of changing ownership, but that shouldn't excuse the drop in quality for current customers. I get that the dining scene is challenging right now, but when I go out for a good meal, I can't justify spending money on what we received at our table."

"I recommended this restaurant to my coworkers. I ordered one of the daily special burgers and waited for a long time. Eventually, I asked for my food to-go so I could eat it back at work. The waitress apologized but mentioned that there wasn't much she could do since one of the kitchen staff members was the owner. I might consider returning, but it won't be during my work hours when the restaurant is nearby."

"A co-worker suggested this restaurant to me, so I decided to take my family there since we were in the area. The restaurant used to be an old bank, and the interior was really interesting. The food was fantastic! I ordered the chicken Alfredo, which was delicious, and the prices were quite reasonable for the three of us. When I’m in the area again, I will definitely make a point to eat there once more. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. With great food and excellent service, I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good meal."
