Update. My family has gone here many times over the years, particularly for special occasions, we enjoyed it so much. I won't likely be going back again. Wednesday our daughter graduated high school, and we went there to celebrate. We arrived after the graduation around 3:30 and stood in the entry waiting to be seated, and there was no sign of life for quite some time. The place was empty except for some voices in the bar. When we were seated we were told they were out of fish and chips and French rolls because they had just had a very busy lunch. We were given the lunch menu, I asked if we could order from the dinner menu, and was told No. I saw a pasta special on the lunch menu, and ordered that. I also ordered a White Russian and I was asked how to make one. ? Really? Ask the customer how to mix a drink? They've had a bar for years... When my plate came, it was not pasta, but a sandwich. I pointed out the mistake, and there was no offer or urgency to bring me the fettucine I had ordered. I don't know why, but I let it go. I guess I felt like I was being rude (ridiculous in hind sight) and I really just wanted to leave. I could have gone anywhere to get a sandwich. We all had sandwiches. She had brought me a salad (to go with my pasta!) earlier, and I could tell it had been sitting in water, not that fresh. Maybe you could chalk it up to the hour we dined, but that's not acceptable. Even the bay window where we sat was dirty, streaked with something, so much that it was noticeable. There are also Christmas decorations up in June, seems lazy. It seems the owner just doesn't care anymore. This was not the special outing we had looked forward to, an utter disappointment.

I had the pork chop and my date the steak. The pork chop was moist and full of flavor. The best pork chop I have had in a restaurant. So good! Will definitely be back. Yum!

Beautiful place, lovely staff. It's a quiet cute place, food is really good. The only thing I was surprised about was the price of the food. But otherwise lovely place.

So, I wasn't sure about coming here at first as it is very unique! Upon coming, wow!!! Beautiful cottage, splash of one of a kind decoration, and amazing food. We got burgers, cocktails, and calamari. So good! Great atmosphere, and definitely happy I came.

I'm sure would have been good, but they were not prepared for a Hallmark holiday. I did enjoy this painting.

A cozy place to have lunch, good food and friendly service.

Whoever is cooking should leave! Their talent is wasted. Serving staff sucked. Yes, I've been here before. When it first opened and people cared about their job. I've been a server. Bartender. Cook. None of these people cared. The hostess touched her butt four times tonight. Inside her jeans. Yuck.

Went back tonight and the food was amazing as well as the service. I had the fettuccine alfredo, my friend lasagna and my other friend chicken cordon bleu. We all agreed everything was great. The veggies were cooked to perfection. A little spendy but worth it because the food is so tasty and fresh. Would like to have more lighting at the tables closest to the entrance.
