Fun looking place, but not a very large menu, and a little on the higher price point for what it was worth in our groups opinion. There were 7 of us and no one really loved anything they had. Two had burgers, two had the risotto, two also had chili, someone also got the ribs, one had wings, one had the bolognese. Everything was just alright. So we felt it wasn’t worth the price.

Under new ownership the menu has changed and we didn’t double check that. Our heart was set on old menu so we ver very disappointed. Our fault for not checking. However, I will say, everything we tried was absolutely delicious. smoked trout dip, goat cheese, beef bolognese, prime rib and burger. Meats were cooked to order correctly. Portion size was great. Same decor and ambience you are used to.

We had been before and wanted to try again for a nice dinner for our anniversary. We had a very pleasant meal. Filet mignon, which was on special (with trice baked potato and veg and the trout. We also had devilled eggs as appetizer. All the food was excellent. Also a very nice glass of red wine. Although some might think the prices a little high, we thought it was an up-market menu and so the value was actually fine for us (and for the occasion). Also the servings were large and we actually took some home to have another meal the next day! (I realize there are some with large appetites how could force it all down in a single serving - but it was fine for us to not need to do that). Since it was shoulder season the place was not busy, and that helped us get truly great service. The one minor surprise was to see a 6% service fee show up on the bill, and we were of course expected to tip on top. I understand some restaurants are doing this now. But it does not really sit well to have that as a surprise when the bill comes. I decided not to make anything of it. I did notice later when searching reviews on line that many people have been taking issue with this and were not happy. I would suggest to the owners/manager that this is a policy that is giving negative reviews. Probably best to just build that 6% into the prices if there is a need to pay kitchen staff more. It seems to create unnecessary negativity, which detracts from what would otherwise be a great experience.

We had dinner here last night and it was delicious but not as wonderful as it was in April when we were here last (or course then they had amazing happy hour deals too.) We were one of two couples at dinner (granted it was early) so it was relatively quiet. The smoked trout dip was very good but it needed better crackers or sourdough bread slices instead of the saltines (and some veggies) to pick up the dip better. The Caesar salad was good but expensive ($27 with the 6 added shrimp.). Samantha was our server and she was so friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves eating and drinking here!

Wanting to give this place the benefit of the doubt that they were truly just having a bad/off night and were seriously understaffed. That being said we never received our drink order, were given the wrong salad and only 1 instead of the 2 we ordered and also never received fries that we ordered. The sweet waitress felt so bad she comped our bill.

The food is way overpriced for the quality. It wasn't the best meal I've had. I waited 40 minutes for two beverages. Slow-paced: food was cold when I received it.
