    This restaurant was a beautiful surprise! Excellent service, along with delicious food. We had the ravioli, ribeye and bolognese in our party. Drinks and desserts were also spot on. We will definitely be back.

    My husband agrees, this of the best meals we’ve eaten in years. His filet mignon was perfect, as was my son’s trout. My wedding soup, beet salad, and chocolate mousse were to die for. 10 start if I could

    You folks did a wonderful job Friday night. If there is one criticism, there was a bit too much salt on the fries. The service was fantastic and thank you for putting us in front of the Fireplace!! We will be bak.

    My wife and I loved our experience at the speckled trout. Our table was ready on time. The service was very friendly and quick. We had the baked brie bowl as an appetizer and it was delicious. We both had different versions of trout for dinner. The food could not have been any better. The beer and wine selection was extensive with local, national, and international choices. They have a small room at the rear of the bottle shop stocked with all types of wine for purchase
