“What a great small town eatery, local staff that you can see have such a great relationship with their customers! Everyone knows everyone and even if it's your first time here, there's such an air of familiarity that you can't help but feel welcome and at home with a warmth and sense of belonging. The food was great, and I still have many more menu items I'm anticipating to try very soon! The bar and the decor give it such a "back home" feel and the warmth and kindness of the staff really pull together in what is truly a great experience that I will personally be enjoying again and again!“
