Kelly did an excellent job serving our table. The Root Pie was delicious just needed a touch of salt. The pear and Brie salad was outstanding! They did not have 3 things we were wanting; decaf tea bags, soup and na 0% beer. It was a cold night and the restaurant was chilly so something warm was needed. My husband cannot have alcohol and most na beers still have .05% which was the case in what was offered. Overall we had a nice birthday dinner but hurried out to warm up at home! We will return for sure!

What a delightful experience. The food was great! I do wish they had a wine list of higher end wines as I can’t drink beer :)
