    Crab cocktail - off the menu but available by special request. This is the most incredible delight to snack on while waiting for your entree. Every steak is cooked to perfection - best spinach - mashed potatoes - the freshest wedge (a meal in itself) and the service is consistently first class. We also discovered a new wine Reputation. Try it. You won’t be disappointed.
