One of our favorite restaurants, usually. This time the kitchen appeared backed up and the servers unsure of themselves. One was observed pretending to bang her head into a wall. However, the food was fine. The ribeye was not as flavorful nor the bacon pieces as tasty as usual on the grilled romaine salad. We planned on having dessert but it was 30 minutes from completion of entrees until the server returned inquiring of our interest in dessert. Upon telling her we had waited along time, she did provide service recovery by offering a scoop of ice cream to go. We appreciated the gesture and took her up on her offer but it did seem odd to offer ice cream to go. We will return. Everyone has an off night.

Great service, friendly and attentive wait staff. The fried okra appetizer and carrot cake for desert was our favorite part of the meal. The steak and truffle fries were also great of course!

Lee

Food was great but the service was lacking. Attention to detail is absolutely essential for good service. As example we had to ask for bread 4 times.

Beginning with the best calamari we've ever tasted, continuing with a perfect salmon dish, and ending with chocolate lava cake, my guest and I agreed our dinners were outstanding.

Excellent food, wine and service. Always good!

Never fails to impress us, or our food/wine/beer connoisseur guests with us last night. Whether living 5 miles or 50 miles away (like us) , a gem you won't regret. Amberjack was sublime, with the perfectly matched New Zealand Ponga wine. Appetizers of Calamari, roasted romaine blew us away, as well as carrot cake. We are there a few times a year, have never not raved over their other many choices

Our meal was delicious! Our server Bronson was gracious, friendly and well versed on the menu. This is one of our favorite restaurants and it never disappoints.

Stephanie and support wait staff were very attentive. We were on a tight time schedule and they helped get us out in a timely manner without feeling rushed. The food was “the best we've had out in a restaurant in quite a while”. (To quote my husband)

This was a very great experience for it to be by first time going. The Garden Burger & my friends burger was ready good! I definitely recommend this restaurant and send consider going back.

The calamari was on the entre menu, but makes a great appetizer for two to three. It was the best we've ever had. The wait staff was very attentive. The duck was tender and moist. The curry was unique, but flavorful. Although we don't usually have dessert, we had to try Rusty's peanut brittle ice cream. It did not disappoint! They also have an extensive wine selection. A great find in a small town!

We recently had a Wine Dinner for 10 people catered by On The Square. Everything was perfect; the appetizers, salad, main course with sides, and dessert. The wines they chose were also an exceptional compliment to the dinner.
They went above and beyond to create a magical evening for us all. Highly recommended!!!!!
