Started with the Charcuterie & Cheese Board, and had plenty of time to have fun enjoying the fantastic selection. Then enjoyed the King Salmon, while my wife enjoyed the Snake River Farms Berkshire, mesquite smoked pork chop. Great Friday Nite!

We’re celebrating an anniversary and we’re treated like royalty. Waiter was extremely accommodating, friendly and attentive. Food was excellent. The fact that we had double dining discount points for seniors on a Tuesday was a bonus. All in all excellent. Anniversary truffle and fruit plate was also an added bonus.

Our group enjoyed the music of tenor ED BENES together with our collegues. Pizza (all three choices) was amazing, a wonderful paring with their wine. This is a family centered event which seated at about 5PM and ended by 9 PM. No Cover. We will refer this venue to friends and family for an amazing evening in the outdoors with great food and live music.
