It's not terribly fancy, is definitely homey, and the prices, I *think*, are reasonable. Oh yeah, and the food was good, too! You should make reservations, if you plan to go, because I seem to remember it being crowded (which is, maybe, a good sign -- but then again, the horrendous Olive Garden packs 'em in too, and, well, yu-u-u-ck ...)! If you find someplace else, and it's decent, let me know. Jodi (Remover "meat" references and "$" from address if responding!)
