The seasonal tasting menu features locally-sourced ingredients, with highlights such as celery soup, trout with fingerling potatoes, and short rib with polenta. Visitors have noted that the restaurant has undergone menu changes, with some recent experiences leading guests to prefer coming for drinks and live music rather than dining. The restaurant is praised for its selection of highly-rated wines and the lively atmosphere enhanced by exceptional live music, including talents like Josh Gallagher and Jeremy Boettcher. Many guests enjoy discovering great drinks and meals like the burger while enjoying the warm and inviting environment. The staff is recognized for their kindness, with one visitor noting how Jeremy went above and beyond during a special occasion.
