    We were unaware of the full menu they had. We enjoyed a fresh delicious dinner by the fire in a quiet spot. The ambience of the bar area is so quaint and the couches make gathering with friends terrific.

    Great place to go for a quiet dinner. The food was excellent. They offer ½ portions on many dishes, so you can order halves of two different items, although the ladies found one ½ portion to be plenty. Great service. We'll be back.

    Our server Brianne was exceptionally helpful and professional. Each of the meals ordered at our table for 4 was wonderfully prepared and delicious. They were very attentive to our gluten free require minutes.

    Always great service and food. My wife and I go on Thursday evening to take advantage of the 1/2 portion, 1/2 price menu. The 1/2 portion is plenty of food for a normal appetite. There are usually very few other patrons on the restaurant side on Thursday so it’s quiet. The bar is a bit more crowded as they offer $6.00 martinis on Thursdays and it’s a stopping point for folks after work.
