Good home cooked meals- just be warned, their portions are massive! One dinner could easily feed 3-4. Give them a try and save room for dessert.
We stopped into this restaurant for a quick bite before the Cirque show. I figured we'd grab a few appetizers then scoot. First timers here so no clue what to expect. First off, nice log cabin restaurant with large open dining area and small bar. We opted for dining area as it was fairly open. The amazing aroma of marinara filled the room. Service was amazingly friendly. We placed our orders for cocktails, shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms, and garlic bread. We figured some small apps would hold us over. Mind you, it's only my girlfriend and I. We were shocked to see the portion sizes walking by our table while waiting. Huge bowls of pasta and plates over flowing with food. Then I see my gf eyes pop out of her head as she realizes our apps are being served. We received food for at least 5 couples. Please take note when ordering that this is a family style restaurant. Huge portions for everything except maybe the complimentary bread. Drinks were very good so kudos to the bar as well. Long story short, everything was delicious and large doggy bags were required. They were able to serve all food and were made to our show on time due to prompt service. Lines were forming as we walked out establishment. We will return for another round and the knowledge to order accordingly. Ample private parking lot. Outside dining offered. My pictures show picked over apps not that you could tell.
The ambiance is very family-friendly dining. Everyone is seated in a large dining room area and there is a small bar as well. Dinner is served with bowls of pasta and sauce no matter the entree you order, making sure you don't leave hungry. The prices are mid 20's to 30's, but the portions themselves are large. They even wrap your leftovers so nothing spills out of them. We got there around 5pm on a Saturday and the place was already pretty full, so keep that in mind when you go. The staff was super friendly and attentive despite how busy it was. (I'd include more pictures but I forgot to take them )
Cute, rustic log cabin setting. The portions are large and very tasty! I had the Lobster Ravioli Tuscano and my husband had chicken parmesan, we both really enjoyed our meals. A large bowl of pasta for the table was served as part of the chicken parmesan. There were leftovers for at least 3-4 lunch portions. The bill was a bit hefty, but you get a lot for your money. I ordered a carmel cake desert that was bland and pricy, would not recommend it. We will happily return for lunch or dinner but will pass on desert.
