on Citysearch Jul 23, 2008This is a large restaurant/bar/hot spot, and gets very crowded. Waits can be long for a table or a stool at the bar, but it does have great food (Try the Macho salad, cornbread, salmon, banana cream pie) People at the bar... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 01, 2008After a longer wait than the hostess had estimated, we were seated at a nice booth for an equally long wait for service. This would have all been acceptable if the food had been as good as touted, but we found the chicken... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 12, 2008If the restaurant manager Todd is such an awful and rude person, that goes to show the whole restaurant service as a whole. It was a disappointment to speak with him over the phone to make a dinner reservation for my... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 31, 2006We make the drive from San Dimas twice a month for that incredible artichoke. It's served split and drizzled with just enough butter to dip it into. We also really enjoy the prime rib, the woodfired chicken and for... (more)
