    Seamless experience, it was exactly what we were looking for as a special Mother’s Day meal. Portions were a little small and prices were a little high, but the quality and flavor of each dish was complex and considered!

    We came from out of town for a mountain getaway and stopped in for our anniversary dinner. We were greeted at our table with complimentary sparking wine so we could toast. Brussels were amazing and the Mac and cheese burger and duck fat fries were to DIE for! Service was the perfect amount of checking in! Highly recommend and will definitely visit again!

    Food was great, however the portions were a little small. Salads weren't included with the high priced entree's. Wine was delicious. Atmosphere was cozy. Good overall experience but can't afford to make it a regular stop for supper.

    We were seated in a back room which is much less crowded and noisy than the bar room. The ambiance was very pleasant for us. The wait staff was attentive and helpful but not intrusive. The food was prepared as ordered and pleasantly seasoned. I especially enjoyed the fresh locally grown lettuces in my salad. My filet could have been a little less cooked for a medium rare, but my husband’s sirloin was cooked right to order. Both steaks were very flavorful and tender. We will definitely be returning. The only change I can suggest is that Bernaise sauce be added as one of the steak sauces available.
