We go for the dancing which is the first Friday most months. Always good food and most times good music. Last night was especially good.

Highly recommend this experience. Talented artists, classic "poe"try, and creative craft cocktails. My Mom and I had fun dressing for the occasion.

I was at a bingo luncheon...the food was delicious! Especially, the vegetable frittata. It was nice being with friends I love and it didn't hurt that I won a $50 bingo. See you next year!!!

My friends and I had lunch at the club last Thursday. Being Italian on both sides of my family, I am really picky eating at Italian restaurants. Our meals did not disappoint. And I loved the atmosphere which was casual and friendly. The food ...
was delicious and reminded me of home. Even though the place got really busy, the service was great. We decided that we will definitely be back!
