    In town to visit family, both our first time there-and we could not have been more impressed! They made us a dressing that wasn’t even on the menu, the food was outstanding-clearly mindfully crafted. And the atmosphere felt truly like the heart of a close community. Thank you for the wonderful food, service and experience.

    Ambiance was great. Beautiful patio. Need more food items on menu. Only had appetizers salads sandwiches n burgers but the choices were limited. I think a great place for cocktails and hors d’oeurves.

    Good food and service was excellent. Nice variety of food items although I thought too many were skewed to the higher side. I will be back.

    Excellent food and service. Wait staff was lovely. This is a nice place for kids as well - right level of noise and fun yet relaxing decor. Unique menu. Salads and breakfast items and chips appetizer were all delicious and even better than expected. Really great cocktails as well.

    This was a new restaurant for me and it was a fun place. I took my dog and she was welcomed with a bowl of water. It was my son's birthday and he got to choose a dessert on the house. We had fun. The food was good. I had a chicken salad and my son had the 36 hour roasted ribs. He said they were very good. We had popcorn shrimp as a shared appetizer and there were plenty of shrimp and even some French fried zucchini.
