In a small town there are so many mixed reviews and that made us hesitant to come and try it out. The only disappointment was that we didn’t come sooner to check it out ourselves! It was excellent! The ambiance is beautiful, food and drinks are excellent, and service was top notch. We had margaritas, calamari, homemade bread, pasta, Mac and cheese, and the burger. You can tell how much care and thoughtfulness went into each dish. This restaurant is exactly what this area needed! We will be back again!
