Lovely place! We both had the prime rib. It was delicious! The asparagus was also cooked perfectly! Our server was very pleasant and efficient. I do recommend making a reservation as there is limited seating.

Food was nothing spectacular. It was cold, under seasoned, bland and the vegetables were barely blanched. Vegetables were almost raw. They are extremely over-priced for what you receive. You will spend an average of $50.00 per person for a prime rib or 10oz steak, which includes potato and vegetable and a side salad is at extra cost. This price does not include any tip, which would be above and over. For an establishment that is trying to be a higher-end restaurant, they have sub-standard food, and the prices far exceed one’s expectations. I will complement them on the cleanliness of the facility. It is very clean and appealing when you walk in the door.
Perhaps you misunderstood my review. I find no problem with the quality of the product. It doesn’t matter where you get the product. You can have the best product in the entire State, but if you don’t have someone that can prepare that product, then it doesn’t matter where the product is from. I am merely stating that in my opinion, the food was cold, not seasoned and properly prepared and for that reason, I felt that the prices were inflated for what I received. Based on this, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter what price is on the menu. If you are going to advertise that the quality of the food is superior, then you must ensure the customer that is going to receive that food is getting what you are selling. Ultimately, you, the owner, are responsible for the product that is delivered to the customer. I will go in and correct my review, because perhaps in a moment of disappointment I was not completely fair to you and your business. I believe you have a fantastic bistro establishment and you should do very well. I wish you the best. I hope you will accept this as constructive information and continued success in your establishment.

We liked that they were farm to table but the menu seemed to have more alcohol options than food options. I had the harvest salad (this would have been so much better if they would’ve used sunflower seeds, almonds or really anything else besides pumpkin seeds) and my husband had the ham and cheese sandwich. He substituted the chips with seasoned fries and it was an extra $7. The fries weren’t crispy and the seasoning was just kinda dumped on the top. We also had the orange crush mocktails which tasted like orange juice watered down with sparkling water. The restaurant itself was nice and clean, and the service was excellent!

From out of town. Google reviews seemed good. They were right. Cool little place. Quiet, quaint and very nice. Food was very good. Service was very pleasant too. If we’re ever back this way,, will repeat.

We made reservations for 6 of us. Our table was ready when we arrived. Our server got our drink order first. Drinks were tasty and delivered in a timely manner. We then put in our dinner order. While waiting, there was live music and it was wonderful. The food took an excessively long time. About 30 minutes after our order, the server brought the fries that we ordered, but not the rest of our food. After an hour had passed, we asked our server why our food was taking so long, and she said “I have no idea. I will go check.” Our food was delivered shortly after. The food was delicious. Our server was hard to flag down and was stuck behind the bar for the majority of our visit. The atmosphere of sitting outside was perfect, and paired with the live music and good drinks, it was a wonderful time for all.

Enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch. We enjoyed The Pretzel Ham Cheese Sandwich and the Steak Salad. Both were excellent. Will definitely be back!
