“If looking for a cozy pub, Ugly Dog is the place to be. Came on a Wednesday, which meant we hit Bluegrass Night, which only added to happening vibe. Sat at the bar, chatted with locals, and out-of-towners. Service from Kelly, our bartender, was excellent. Personable and attentive.“

Hummingbird Lounge Bar • $$$

“We had an excellent dining experience, thanks to Casey’s outstanding service. He was incredibly attentive and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. For dinner, I enjoyed the pheasant, which was absolutely delicious, while my husband had the ribeye—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our son ordered the sirloin, but it wasn’t quite to our liking. Casey handled it with professionalism and care, ensuring it was promptly corrected. His warm and accommodating nature truly elevated our experience, making our evening both enjoyable and memorable.“

“As usual, the food was high quality and the service is what you expect in a nice restaurant. They know how to get fresh fish and cook it right. I we could not resist dessert because their desserts are great. I highly recommend the lemon moose cake with raspberry sauce. It got very noisy, but I don't know how that can be avoided. They were packed out. Reservations suggested.“
