We stopped for a late lunch while traveling. Food was good, nice wine list but most impressive was the the server was informed that my Open Table preference included Vegetarian and she went out of her way to point out how the menu could work for me.

I arrived early and told the staff that this was a first date. They arranged for the table in front of the fireplace for ambiance. Hannah, our server, was very attentive and sweet. Because of our experience at dinner, there will be a second date.
