The “Old Eagle Room” is a landmark in the area, but as a movie theater and the Polo Cafe, was the candy store next door. Now the Polo is a special place to dine and The Old Eagle is a banquet room for small parties and cabaret. For New Year’s Eve, Dave is offering a special dining experience, a pre-fixe dinner that includes the following:
