My Reuben had just the right mix of lean corned beef and sauerkraut. Real thousand island dressing came on the side, which is my preference. Portions are big here and the slices of rye were quite thick but surprisingly not overfilling. It was a very, very good sandwich and the homemade chips made it a great lunch entree. The cinnamon roll French toast also gets a good review for being tasty and the fruit bowl offered a good selection. The noise level was average and our dining experience memorable.

Sat on patio because the inside was packed for a Monday night. Tried several tapas for dinner, favorite was the bread service and Brussels sprouts. Also had the wings but the seasoning was a little overpowering. Came back a second night! Loved the steak sandwich. Ribeye had a great flavor. Recommend the relish on the side if you're not into heat. Service was great tonight. I do want to mention the beer selection on draft is great since most are local.

Everything we ordered was just ok and we were glad we didn't order the pricier entrees - some were $50. We would go back for a glass of beer or wine but probably not to eat unless we heard about a change in the kitchen. Lots of potential here though!

We got the shrimp skewers and citrus mussels with the curry sauce to die for! We kept slurping up the sauce after the bread was gone! The garlic mayo complemented the shrimp perfectly. We also ordered the forager pizza. With the crispy crust, sweet fennel sausage and the mushrooms - I am in pizza heaven! Hubby ordered a few summer beer and I had the pineapple cider. Both were light and refreshing. Our server provided great recommendations and checked on us frequently throughout our meal. Overall verdict - highly recommend it for causal dining, happy hour or a special meal. Way to support local farms and businesses. Love the outdoor seating which is great in the summer!

I had a meat lovers skillet and I loved it! Plenty of food (couldn't finish it all) and was really loaded with toppings. The whole meal sat on a bed of great hash browns and was topped with two or three eggs (can't remember how many). My wife's sandwich was also good, but she thought the Split Pea Soup was only average. It was different, made without any thing in it (but peas), no ham, no potato, just a thin soup. Flavor was okay, but a little ham or another additive would have made it pretty darn good. We didn't save room for dessert, but the large selection of pies look sooooo good. Might have to stop in again just to try the pie!

The restaurant itself is beautiful, and Kaitlin behind the bar made the experience even better. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to chat with. The food was solid overall. The smash burger had great flavor, though I would have liked a little more crisp on the edges. Still, it was a good burger and definitely hit the spot. Great service, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd happily stop back the next time I'm in the area.

So, extra stars for being dog friendly and having a lovely outdoor patio space with shade. Also extra points for having a pretty comprehensive dog menu in addition to the human menu. Their beer menu was extensive, but nothing sounded great from the selection. I was driving anyway so decided to go with a mocktail. They have a decent mocktail menu too, which I always appreciate. I got some kind of coconut mule, knowing that I didn't love coconut, so while it wasn't my favorite, it was actually pretty clever and the coconut added an interesting element to the drink. If you like coconut and you like mules, I cannot recommend enough. The chicken sandwich was decent, I wish they had a grilled option, but it was good and I finished the sandwich. Fries were good, too, and my pup really enjoyed his plate of plain grilled chicken. Our server was nice and made sure to get him some water too as soon as we sat down. Aside from the dog love, food was mostly stuff I could get at most burger sports bar type places, but it was still good and would be a perfectly fine place to go for dinner and a game or something.

We made a reservation online a few days before and we definitely needed it, the place was packed! Our table was ready right away and service was friendly throughout. The vibe feels upbeat, cozy and elegant which we loved! We ordered a bottle of red wine, bacon wrapped artichokes for a starter, and then I got the salmon and my husband got the pork shank. For the area this is pricey and we didn't feel like the food quite stood up to the price. Nothing terribly wrong just lacking a bit of flavor here and there. I would be open to trying again for another meal!
