Cute place

Very warm and welcoming. Older crowd. CUTE restaurant and nice menu. The old lady in the coat check is a hoot.

Oh Well........

Yeah I tried it again since the new owner took over about 2 years ago, and all I can say is that he just don't get it. The food is way over priced, (however a bit better)while the bar is simply too noisy and obnoxious with brutal language. Not a comfortable place to dine. I prefer a more respectable.

Look no further

Don't waste your time bar hopping trying to find "the one". Go directly to VENTURE INN, walk up 3, maybe 4 steps & in the door. There you'll find the best of the best! Drinks, food, drinks, cute & extremely attentive bartenders, drinks & lots of laughs, oh yeah, did I mention drinks? What more could you ask for!
