Food is exceptional. It’s our local go to whenever we have friends in town or we want a good quality and nice dinner out. Food is consistently good. Wine lost is extensive and fairly priced (1/2 priced bottles on Mondays). The bear salad with goat cheese is always a favorite. The pastas are perfectly prepared and the meat dishes are flavorful and satisfying. Good food, done well. After writing this review I’m thinking we’re going to have to dine again there this weekend!!

Serve was slow considering the restaurant wasn’t very busy. Only one person serving most of the restaurant We expected to wait for our food to arrive 20-25 minutes after we ordered it but not 45 minutes after we ordered it. Then we had to wait an additional 10 minutes just to get our check so we could pay and leave. The food was good and we would go back to the food but the service wasn’t terrible
