    Food was excellent. Two people in our party of four had the “famous “ meatloaf. It lived up to its reputation. It was delicious. One had a burger. Amazing. The fourth had the open face lobster ravioli. The cream sauce was the best thing she ever had. Lots of lobster and shrimp too. Drinks were good and our waitress was great. Overall a great night out. Deserts were outstanding as well. The tab for four including 4 drinks 4 entrees and 4 desserts. Only 207. Very reasonable considering the quality and the atmosphere. Thank you Davids
