"Before you think I'm crazy after ordering meat leaflets in an obviously Italian restaurant, it was the special of the day and the checkout said it's amazing and made only once a month. Man, she wasn't a joke! It must take a whole month to make a dish so delicious and filled with homemade goodness! Let's first talk about the garlic bread... that thought something so easy could be so delicious, but it was: Toasty buttery goodness!! The obviously handmade potatoes w/ exactly the correct amount of potato skin mixed in this fluffy, creamy mixture was the absolutely perfect side for the main attraction, THE MEATLOAF! Great fleshy texture with crisp edges from the grill and an amazing velvety brown sauce like I never had before. I ordered it on the side as I usually don't find it so delightful, but I found myself pouring it over the meat leaf immediately and immersed everything I could in it! Even the harmless baby caroots in a herbal butter sauce could shine through in this amazing occupation of characters alone! Must start the dates down on my calendar as the last time I was here I had the Chicken Fried Steak, which was also monthly. Hopefully I'll come to the other dishes on their menu sometime! Ultimately, if you've never been here, every inch of this place is filled with film star memory from the last decades. It is a quiet, dim, and extremely relaxing atmosphere to escape from your daily routine. Hold on."
