We went for Monday Dinner and ate out on the deck which was spacious, lovely and comfortable. We were greeted warmly and promptly and our server was terrific.

The food is fresh and delicious. We had the chicken quesadillas and the burger ( perfectly cooked) with fries (hand cut tasty not greasy) and coleslaw ( tasty). The wine was also excellent. This is a gem.
Had a great Mother’s Day brunch!!!
