Richard Livermore
A dear friend of long-standing just moved in and a group of us that has been meeting together for 40 years went to visit during the afternoon happy hour and stayed for dinner. We were all made to feel very welcome. The staff is uniformly, pleasant, courteous, and efficient. They have good security systems and the food was excellent. It was my first visit and the impression was excellent.
