This is a must- visit restaurant. It's steeped in the history of downtown Montrose. You think you're in the 1950s or 60s. The food is excellent and the prices are fair. The warm rolls are heavenly!

Wonderful service provided by Natalie. We were alone dining upstairs and she ran up and down often bringing us our delicious dinner and making sure we had everything we needed, all with a big smile!
