    Food was served hot, portions were ample. We had croque madame, filet sliders as the mains. Croque…read moremadame had fresh ham, tomato bechamel and ground mustard and a perfectly fried egg on sourdough. I enjoyed the sandwich though my tastes were ready for a lightly browned cheese instead of a lava like cheese sauce though the flavor was terrific. The beef sliders were well seasoned and flavorful. 3 sliders ( not overly inventive )were a perfect savory meal. Do not miss the creamed corn! The bacon added texture and a nice hint of salt. The goat cheese flat bread was maybe the best offering for the evening..the goat cheese was melted wonderfully and the balsamic vinegar infused complexity all contained on the flat bread. The brownie with ice cream was a nice sweet ending to a great farm to table experience. Eli, our server knew the perfect inflection points to check in without becoming a helicopter server! Overall, this place, the service and cook team merited our sincere appreciation! Well done!

    We had a group of eight that made reservations and dined here at noon. They were very accommodating…read moreand were willing to do separate checks. I had Farmer Johnny's Pasta, which was described as "Rosemary lemon butter sauce, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, cheese blend." I would say the taste was good, but I think it would have been better with a few more vegetables among the pasta. Two had the pot pie, which really did look good, and is what I will try next time. Another had roasted red bell pepper, which I have also had in the past. It looked as good as ever. I like the fact that a lot of produce is local. The restaurant was comfortable. The service was accommodating. We all enjoyed our food!

    Food is good but service is the absolute worst. We were the only people eating there and they…read moredidn't offer us drinks, we had to ask for stuff that was supposed to come with the food, and never once got a refill. The waitress/bar tender was more focused on sitting on her phone and she sure enough had her glass full. Although the food is really good but being treated like we are a bother when we are the only one in the restaurant portion is BS. Will never come back and will make sure people know not to come either Also while sitting next to the window, they have a bunch of dead flies on the inside. Very appetizing to look at.

    Back to Whirlyball this time for a private event I worked with their team to organize the event and…read morethey did a good job putting the program together we started downstairs with renting a court and a few bowling lanes. We also added some large games to our space as well. We then made it upstairs for our dinner program and the buffet was amazing! Delicious and tenor serving they have a very nice event space upstairs. The staff were very nice. Two notes would just be that they had our program run on a court back to back with another group so it was ackward since we needed all those large games set up, had preset beverages and appetizers. Plus a full check in table. The other court was empty so I'm not certain why we weren't just in the other space. Then they also only had the front bar open in the first hour versus the one right at the courts and bowling where we were and other guests enjoying their time. In the case of our group it also left us separated into two since as they waited for drinks then they just became comfortable in the front bar talking. They did open the upstairs bar once we moved up there. I would book an event here again I would just make sure to clearly note some of those details and/or even book the court an extra hour to ensure no crossover even though I was able to set up 15 minutes before our event start. Everyone had a really fun time and for many it was their first time experiencing it.
