Had a great time. This is a gem that has been in the area for a long while. Most every night has live music too. And day time has open mic everyday. We found the environment inviting and also enjoyed dancing (no dance floor) in between bites of yummy food! If you haven’t, you have to check this out. Definitely a new hang out for me and my love.

This is one of those places you always talk about going to and to never do. So please stop procrastinating like us. The service was great. The drinks were great! The food was great with a wonderful combination of flavors. Oh and don’t forget the live music which was great as well. So once to read this, you have no excuse for not visiting. Check the pics, the food was as good as it looks.

Overall, we had a wonderful experience at starving artists. The food was delicious, but the atmosphere and service were excellent. Loved everything about it. We had the chicken entree, which was juicy and delicious, and the prime rib sandwich, which was tasty. The onion rings are some of the best rings you can buy. The drinks were also good.

The fact that there was live music is what allowed me to give this place 2 stars otherwise it would be 1. My pasta had clearly been sitting so long it started to clump up. The steak was dry, even though we ordered it medium. The meatloaf was good but nothing to write home about. The service… now that is what really killed this place. The hostess was smug and unfriendly. Our waitress was slow at everything. It took forever to get anything from her. Super disappointed

We enjoy having lunch or dinner here. Food is good and there are lots of choices. Many nights, they have performers, and that’s a great add to the ambiance. There is a large outdoor patio out front also. A suggestion I have would be to monitor how loud the performers are by sound checking, sitting in back so that it isn’t uncomfortable having dinner and a conversation.

Went there for dinner. Food was great – main (salmon) plus spinach and artichoke dip (appetizer). Service and music are definitely good. The outside patio had a great vibe. Nobody was sitting inside as the weather was fine and warm.

Yummmyyy the prawn spinach salad was amazing! It was a sweet and savory bite for lunch and I finished it so fast.

This is a fine place for a great meal and live music all day. I liked what my friend and I ordered. The live music the night we visited was a two man duo singing classic rock songs from the 70’s. They were very good! There is a great vibe here and I will say the restaurant needs to upgrade its presentation of the food served to keep people coming here. The garlic toast we ordered was soggy and limp (too much butter) so it stayed on the plate and the cost of this sad appetizer was removed from the tip amount. There is plenty of free parking with seating at the indoor bar or tables/booths or the patio outside.
