    This is older established restaurant that has went through some various upgrades, like the bathroom remodels and menu items that are changed. The host and servers were efficient but , in my mind hovering a bite too much for a family type restaurant, I rather like the european approach where you get everything ordered and never see the server again. We were there to celebrate a friend's birthday so all that hovering was not needed, but then again american diner's expect all that groveling. I mostly forgot to take pictures because I was more focused on celebrating my friends birthday, sorry. We started with their house homemade minestrone soup, this was certainly not progresso, it was as good as ever. The next course was a house salad with a simple house vinaigrette dressing, I totally forget to get pictures of that and we even asked for seconds. It was simply that delicious! I had the prime rib for my main, I asked for medium rare and it was more on the medium to medium well side, it was okay but not the worst prime rib I've had but certainly nowhere's comparable to what I could cook. The items that were omitted due to cost cutting was the customary house red and the dessert they served in years past. Too bad that cost cutting changes were made and my guess is the newer diners probably don't miss, the food was still good but cost cutting items were changed like mashed potatoes and frozen vegetables were substituted instead of sliced potatoes and fresh zucchini. The interior dining area has not changed, there were the same booths and tables that could easily be moved together to accommodate larger family gatherings. A very comfortable setting for family dining. It's just too bad deletions had to be made on such a established older restaurant. I will still come back but much less sparingly.

    First time here and so glad I did. Always wanted to try it every time I passed by and finally got the chance. Always heard SSF locals rave about this place and now I know what they are talking about. Parking is in a private lot. Service was great and the food was great. Our server was very friendly and polite. The vibe is old school but I didn't mind at all. There were a lot of friendly locals there. The music was great. Now on to the food. They have specials during the week and you definitely get your money's worth. The portions are huge. If you like calamari, I recommend the calamari steak. The ribs were great, especially for the portion size at the great price.

    For what it is, I give them 4.5 stars. We knew before entering, that it was going to be an old institution, kind of like a diner feel and that's what you get. A comfy old school spot. It has booths that are well maintained and regulars sitting at the bar. The service was friendly and efficient. After ordering, we were brought a big bowl of Minestrone Soup to share and followed by a salad. Both were yummy. The soup had a good amount of vegetables and they were fresh. Even my son liked the soup. My family recommended this place for many years for their Prime Rib so that's what I ordered, medium rare. It was yummy with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies that reminded me of grade school cafeteria lunches. The server said that we could order a kids portion of the Spaghetti with Meatballs but when it arrived there were no meatballs on the plate. She had to go get them for us. My husband had the Chicken Parm which was also served with mashed potatoes and veggies. He said the Chicken Parm was good but not great. At the same time, he was happy with it given what we expected. It's really a kind of place you would take your old parents for a casual dinner. They had quite an extensive cocktail menu. We will be back when we want a casual, old school, dining night.
