Great food and service, steak was cooked to perfection. Great spot just outside of the town, so nice to get away from the crowds.

Wow. How a year can change your experience. I will not be coming back here and cannot recommend. We visited for my birthday dinner and we ordered some wings w the honey-sriracha sauce and 2 ribeye steak meals. The wings a year ago were perfect, large and crispy…tonight they were still crispy w a good flavor but half the size that they were last year. The ribeye steaks though…absolutely terrible. We expect a ribeye to be juicy and tender, but these did not look like ribeye steaks and they were extremely lean and had zero flavor. I now know why the staff had asked us if we wanted steak sauce! My steak had a super intense char taste to it, and it tasted off, and a it had tough texture; the mashed potatoes were weirdly sweet; and the fresh vegetables were sour. The manager/chef came out and I explained I did not like any of my meal but he was more focused on explaining that the steaks were in fact ribeyes and he trims the fat so he isn’t charging $40 for a fatty piece of meat…then still charged us for the full price of both steaks. I had 3 bites of my steak and one bite of each the mashed potatoes and vegetables, it all tasted off to me. I felt as if I was being ignored and the manager/chef was not acknowledging me. He was rude and argumentative when explaining his cooking method and did not address my dislike of my entire meal. We will not be visiting this location again, and, as a local, I do not recommend. Our server was very nice though!

Cute place! Seated quickly (didn’t seem very busy in town overall at the time I was there, though), all of the staff was very kind! We were greeted at the door by a man (manager possibly?) as well as the woman who seated us.
Our server was nice, attentive but not pushy/hovering! At the end my boyfriend accidentally asked for the bill instead of ordering dessert but when she came back and he asked to add it on, she happily did.

The food was good! Definitely recommend the Stew that is in the appetizer section, could even be an entree and it was delish! My burger was good, a big one! The cobbler was sooo good.
Would recommend if you’re in the area.

They refused to take my order on the phone for pickup at 6:54pm even though it says they were taking orders until 8pm. Her excuse was that the kitchen was too busy with orders since it’s a Friday? Interesting…

Used to be better. One person had fish and chips, the fish was cold in the center (very brown on the outside), my ribs were disappointing, not much flavor. We had a party of 7. Extra plates were brought for shared apps, but only 5. Appetizers were expensive for the amount of food received.
They were kind enough to let us bring in a birthday dessert, I appreciate that. Herschel was our server, stretched between the bar and tables, he did great.
The cherry wheat beer was enjoyable.

The food was decent. A little pricey for what you got, service was really good. Atmosphere was a little stuffy and uncomfortable on the lower floor.

Love this place! I got the baseball cut sirloin and it was cooked perfectly and it was tender. My friend got the Pb&J burger. I thought he was going to lick the plate when he was done. They also currently have a good Sauvignon Blanc and a good selection of beers.

Just ordered beer and late lunch when Chef Keith came by and ask me if I had a 4 runner. It’s got a tire leak, surenuff large screw and leaking air
He directed me to a nearby tire place ! They fixed it while I walked back and finished lunch which was great as usual !
He sure saved me a lot of headache
