Plenty of parking which is always nice.
4 of us for dinner. Service was stellar for a number of reasons. Server was very helpful with menu suggestions and personable. Beer list is incredible with a number of hill farmstead options.
Food was great but my burger came out as the wrong one. Before I even took a bite, they came over and offered to remake it or discount it. I’m not that fussy so I kept what I had. They asked a few times if I was sure and thanked...

My wife and I had dinner here. The food was very good and enjoyable. We sat back in the bar area, which, in retrospect, was probably a mistake. The bartender, who also doubled as our server, was attentive when we first got there but never checked on us after we started eating. We didn't see him again until we checked out. The 16% tip reflected the level of service we felt we received.

Food was excellent! We were seated at a table in the bar area, and the bartender was more interested in talking about TV shows with his buddy who was seated at the bar instead of serving us. The bartender also walked into the restaurant just ahead of us and didn't bother to hold the door for us. He lacks common courtesy and customer service skills.
