Said that their best cook was in the kitchen and we couldn't go wrong. I had the pork tenderloin sandwich and fries. This sandwich was huge and for me required a knife and fork. It was delicious.

He said it was tender, moist and flavorful. And it was too big to finish. It was very clean and accessible friendly. Got to love a bar with clean bathrooms!

My husband ordered the nachos with guacamole, but instead of freshly made guacamole, they were served with a prepackaged guacamole-style dip. It was fine, but it wasn't what we expected and took away from the overall dish. If you're looking for a convenient place to grab a meal while in the area, this restaurant does the job. However, if you're searching for an exceptional meal or a destination dining experience, there are likely better options nearby.

The tables around us that sat after us were waited upon pretty quick. The young guy that finally came to our table seemed like it was his first day. He knew little about the menu and barely talked. Anyways, we ordered a flatbread pizza and the cream cheese olive burger. It took a while to get the food, but it was good. The burger was cooked well and had a lot of toppings. The fries were tasty and crispy. Overall, it was ok. I'd like to go back just to give it another shot.

We had a group of seven adults and a baby, and when I called late in the afternoon, they were able to accommodate us at exactly the time we desired. From the moment I pulled up, I had a good feeling. The exterior has that historic charm, and inside it's beautifully updated while still keeping the character of the building. We were seated in a semi-private room overlooking the dam, which made the whole experience feel even more special. The service was fantastic - attentive without being overbearing - and the food absolutely delivered. Our table ordered a variety of dishes, from the smash burger to salmon and rice, shrimp, steak, and even the French onion soup. Everything was spot on. And I have to mention the dirty martini with hand-stuffed blue cheese olives... incredible. Every single person in our group enjoyed their meal, the drinks, and the atmosphere. Highly recommend - this will definitely be our go-to spot the next time we're in town.
