Rated 2 out of 5 by rochelle k from Have eaten here many times and always enjoyed it..but haven't been there in about a year and saw a big difference in quality,our favorite salad was very different and tasteless.the salad dressing different...the veal a,though tasty was so thin and the mushrooms more plentiful than the few small pieces of veal. Sadly I probably won't return based on this experience...and in the past I had sent many of my friends there.
