Fridays and Saturdays are be celebrated with a DJ and dancing. As the week draws to a close half price bottles of wine are available from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Sundays.
Classic American fare comes in the form of burgers, soups, salads, and house made desserts. Butternut Squash Agnolotti and Veal Stew are a couple of the more upscale entrees available.
