We had such a good time at this spot and it was close to home. Melba came out to visit with us. Her staff was very welcoming and professional. This is a nice DATE NIGHT restaurant. The waiter offeted The Beef Rib Special. I said yes. I should have asked the price, but, it wss very good. I also had The Chipono on another visit. It was The Bomb!. Would I return?,YES! Melba said she washoing to close down, I hope she 's back. I will return i.mediately. Thank You Melba.

Just a bit disappointed that red onions were not listed as an ingredient on the menu. Most people probably don 't mind this but this is a 'no order item ' if I see it I don 't like spending the first few minutes fishing it out of my meal (Tortellini) I would 've ordered something else. Kind of funny I heard the waiter speaking with the chef about it once he saw the onions lined on the side of my plate I heard them say 'Its in the sauce '. I get it. But there were more red onions in that dish than the items that were listed as ingredients. We 're not talking about finely chopped either. Probably just me but bummer none the less.
