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.

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.
