    Our go to restaurant in Sidney. We loved our Sunday roast. The choice of beef, pork, or salmon for the main was excellent variety. The food was ample and delicious

    What a discovery! Three of us stopped by for lunch and were blown away. Fabulous fresh baked bread and warm olives to start, then three different entrees — beef short ribs, lamb, and rabbit — all cooked to perfection and accompanied by elegant sauces and roasted vegetables, then two desserts even though we barely had room for them. Nice wine selection, and great service from the personable young chef himself — really, an exceptional dining experience!
