Atmosphere was the best part of the restaurant, live music outside and nice customer service. Really Enjoyed being there.
The food, well got the brown sugar salmon with mashed potatoes “the name on the menu was different ” and clam chowder.
I liked the flavor of the salmon itself but did not really like the brown sugar on it. The clam chowder didnt taste fishy lol the mashed potatoes were so good I could have had double.
I would probably try the restaurant again just maybe a salad next time or a pastry just to enjoy the live music.
-update- found out the restaurant shut down, im glad i got to try it before that happened.

Hated It!! Food, Service and Atmosphete are MISERABLE!!
Waited 15 minutes to have someone even acknowledge our existence to seat us. Then still another 15 minutes to get our table. UGH!! Tried to charge me 2 times for 1 glass of wine. The server needs to learn how to count!! Food took forever while served luke warm at best and the salad was sadly misersble. Even the salad wanted to cry. The music speakers were way too loud. Anyone heard of a Sound check. Check!! Our Server had an attitude, never got a refill for water and then told me I should tip her standard 20 percent. How RUDE!! Server should have been fired on the spot!! The owner's husband is not a nice person imo!! Hate this place and will never be back!! Good bye ?

Came in on Saturday night at 9pm and got seated on the patio. We liked the live music and fresh air and our drinks were brought out quickly. We both ordered burgers medium well and an appetizer. Appetizer came to us at 9:45. Very salty but dip made up for it. But waited an hour for our burgers and no one came to refill our waters or drinks. Shortly after 10, our food was brought out. We bit into our food to find raw hamburger meat. Im talking like a thawed barely brown mostly soggy raw hamburger. Immediately I grabbed the attention of our waitress and told us the cook was drunk and that’s why the food took so long and why it was raw. Thankfully we didn’t pay for any of our food and went to yard house instead. It’s one thing to make people wait; but serving raw meat to customers is unsanitary and disgusting. Can’t believe this place has so many good reviews but I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

Enjoyed lunch at the restaurant for the first time and will be returning. Both burgers were tasty with crispy sweet potato fries that we loved. I'm not sure if their sauces are house made, probably likely, because they were delicious. Service and experience here was great, looking forward to trying other items on the menu, can't believe I haven't tried this restaurant until recently.

Cool place in a good location. Lots of local art displayed on walls and live music. Service was good, prices reasonable and food was good although portions were small. Would recommend for a cool hang of you like live music.

I do like the place, the music and the service, unfortunately after going several times, today we had a bad experience, we ordered 2 old fashion that we have ordered other times and it’s usually good, but this time it took longer to be served and it came watered down, when we asked to return it after having the first sip, and we tried ordering something else instead, we were told all alcohol sales are final, which fine we do understand the rule if it is a taste thing situation, and this was not the case, it already came bad to our table, when we were told the sales were final on alcohol the bartender said she could “fix” it, there’s no real fixing for watered down drinks, but anyways we would have to pay for that drink so we took it, it came the same as it was and we left the drinks in there without drinking it as in shows in the picture and yes we’ll have to pay for them, actually our bill came with the extra drinks that we had canceled when we tried to exchange the first ones, and we had to ask them to remove them from the bill. Now we’ll think twice before coming, as sometimes we stop by only to have some drinks and enjoy the music.

Ashley and Maddie are top-notch servers. They are personal, professional, and delightful. We thoroughly enjoy the ambience and the variety of talented artist that we have in our community. I’ve ordered a variety of mocktails that are always amazing, delicious, and attractive! I highly recommend the small salad. With its caramelized walnuts and variety of greens, it hits the spot every time! The servings are always more than enough for the two of us to share. Don’t forget to order dessert. The chocolate chip cookie and ice cream is my first choice, followed by the berry pie.
