In the early 1970's, an old train caboose was added to provide a unique dining area.

Excellent food - from appetizers to dessert! We ended up ordering too much because it all sounded so good - and there were no leftovers! We had a large party of 9 - everyone loved their choices. Service was excellent and appropriately on time.
