We had an event near Salem so we thought we'd stop by. It's so quaint, gorgeous and proved to be lovely get away for the afternoon. It's not overly large as you can most likely walk and enjoy the trails, gardens and sights in about 30 minutes. There is a house tour but only on limited days/times and the day we visited was not one of those days. Beautiful flowers, tucked away benches and meandering trails all made for a wonderful walk. I highly recommend and it's free to walk around!

They are only offering this special for one week so try and stop in before Saturday 2/21/26 The Resturant was decorated with some traditional decor in celebration of the occasion and, as always, Jen provided excellent service.

There is a sense of warmth and intentionality in everything they do, making every visit feel like a special occasion. The food is absolutely to die for, particularly their signature items. The Wild Pear Salad is a masterclass in balance, featuring fresh greens and the perfect hint of sweetness from the pears. However, the absolute showstopper is the Coconut Curry Butternut Squash soup. It is velvety, rich, and has just the right amount of aromatic spice to make it unforgettable. It is the kind of dish you find yourself thinking about days after you have finished it. Beyond those specific favorites, it seems like you really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish is prepared with high quality ingredients and a clear level of expertise in the kitchen. Whether you are stopping in for a quick lunch or a leisurely dinner, the quality remains top tier. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for fresh, vibrant flavors in a quaint setting.
