My husband and I drove 2 hours to celebrate our anniversary and we were very well taken care of. Great food and drinks.

We consistently choose this establishment for date nights and special celebrations. Today, we commemorated our seventh anniversary and were provided with exceptional service and a delightful dining experience. We will continue to recommend this restaurant to our network of friends and family.

Jo the bar tender was very communicative. I had expressed how flavorful the steak was she informed me that the food is farm to plate. Which I really loved. She was a pleasure to chat with and she makes the best mimosas ♥️ This will definitely be my Sunday brunch spot.

We wanted a quick glass of wine each and a salad for myself. We arrived 45 min before kitchen close and sat on the porch. Our server was visibly angry with us and made us both feel extremely uncomfortable. She kept adding in how she was ready to leave and how everyone was tabbing out to make it known to us we shouldn’t be there. I understand the site of us coming in 45 minutes before the kitchen closed made her think we were planning on taking our time but that was not the case. After several other comments towards us I scarfed down my food and downed our glass of wine. We were in and out before the kitchen even closed, had absolutely zero time to enjoy ourselves. We would’ve happily tabbed out with her and moved to the bar at kitchen close but she was so incredibly rude I just wanted to leave and would never bring my family back to a place that not only rushes you but makes rude comments along the way.

Beautifully restored home made into a quaint and welcoming restaurant. Coupled with many fresh foods from the owner's private ranch, one can not go wrong with any dish. Delicious to even the most discerning of palates.

I related it a 3 star due to how our waitress was constantly being persistent returning to our table numerous times to get our orders in for just appetizers when we’re having a hard time deciding due to having sticker price shock. You could tell she was getting frustrated with us by her body language, facial expressions and tone was very stern. We almost walked out. Thankfully the food turned out great but pricey for the serving size or I would have regretted the whole dinner experience. The occasion was for a surprise dinner for an elderly family member’s birthday. This made it very uncomfortable and embarrassing for us.
It seems this place is more for social drinks and appetizers.

We just went there for a birthday party. I had seen the place a couple of times on instagram post people have made and was excited to go. It was way over priced for not so good food. If you’re going to drink then this place is for you. But I will definitely not be going back. $16 for a baked potato, and $40 for a chicken salad that was gross. If it wasn’t for us being there because our friends wanted to eat there we would have left.

A very charming Victorian home, decorated immaculately. Service was good with a relaxing & nice vibe during brunch.
We enjoyed our brunch, decent selection and many local ingredients which is great. Biscuits were great too.
Clearly labeled gluten free options, limited vegetarian but still a few available during brunch at least.

I had my birthday dinner here last night. I made reservations for our group of 30, but we ended up with only about 23.

I was greatly disappointed. My Dad’s Ribeye was terrible He said it was the worst ribeye he’s ever had, and was $150. My mom’s food, my husband’s food and my food were all extremely salty. The burger meat was very dry. My friends’s $40 salad was gross as well.

The staff acted very strange and as if we were a burden.

They were obsessed with keeping us all in our seats instead of letting us socialize freely on the patio, despite me telling them that I would let them know who all was on what ticket at the end of our meal and not to worry about it too much.

They gave our kids wiki sticks (wax craft sticks) to play with, but then told them not to play with them directly on the table because they will leave a mark on the table and told us that the owner, Ashton, doesn’t allow crayons because she’s too worried about kids coloring on the tables. It was weird.

The other owner (Ashton’s mom) kept arguing with Tina (our waitress) and getting her flustered. I honestly think that was a big part of why the staff was so akward with us, it seemed like they were terrified of upsetting her.

I paid $400 just for the patio rental and the food was astronomical in price.

It rained while we were out there and some of my guests were getting wet, but we could not move our tables or chairs from where we were getting wet because there’s a $200 fine if you move any of their furniture.

Thank God, some of the people in our party had to cancel last minute because there was one table on the patio that was completely off-limits to us because it had rained previously and they said that the table and the chairs were wet so we were not allowed to use them. If all 30 people from our party had showed up, they would not have had anywhere to sit.

It was a terrible experience to be honest. The staff made everyone feel so awkward.

When my mom said it was just her on her ticket the waitress said “Oh it’s just you?” In a snarky tone. My mom said it made her feel bad.

The Tumble Weed appetizer was delicious, and it’s a beautiful place but, the service is terrible and the rest of the food was not good.

Everyone in my party was disappointed.

None of us will be back. It is really sad because this place has such a beautiful atmosphere and has the potential to be great.

Man where to start? First off we paid 400$ to reserve the outside patio to accomidate 24 guest . The attitude we received when we got there was ridiculous we were there to celebrate my wife's birthday which means we would all be socializing lol ohhhh no they started off with telling us people had to pick there seat and stay there and it would be confusing for them since everyone would be on separate bills . Like excuse me I paid 400$ for this space so people could socialize and move around . From that point on it was like we were being rushed to order and not kindly now my wife is a sweet person and kind just let it all slide . While service and being bossed around was horrible let me move into the food . This broke my heart because we had heard such great things about this place I will start with mine I got the pulled pork sandwich with fries simple enough right. I ate half the sandwich and could not stomach the rest It tasted like someone accidentally spilled an entire bottle of salt on the sandwich and just passed it on . So while I was upset about that but didn't say anything I asked my wife if I could try her smash burger . Yall the flavor of the meat was horrible we spent so much money and me and my wife together didn't eat an entire sandwich . So I started asking the other guest how their food was just hoping maybe we just got unlucky ya know . Nope my father in law ordered the steak I can't remember which one but it was super expensive and he told me that was legit the worst steak he ever had . However the guest that ordered the ghost sandwich they loved it and the texas tumbleweed was pretty good . The salad was in giant chunks and scarce with items which is crazy cause the salad was $40 . Now the look of the place and the setting was phenomenal it was the coolest looking place but unless you wanna spend alot of money to look at a cool place save your money and time

From the moment we checked in until we paid our bill, the staff was very attentive and the food was amazing. Will come back for sure.
