We loved our meals - seared tuna with wasabi slaw and rice. Yum!! This was on special and not on the regular menu. The hubs had seafood creole which was so fresh and delicious! You can tell the ingredients are thoughtfully selected. Dessert was creme brule which was perfect. Ambiance was great - upscale, comfy, relaxed, even though it was quite busy. I'd highly recommend eating there and we would happily return on our next visit to town.

Everything on the menu we ordered was delicious, but the roasted carrots on a bed of ricotta and the sautéed spinach were perfect starters with the garlic knots. Absolutely loved the short rib stroganoff and would order it again. Another standout was the wild boar Bolognese, not really for me, but the other people in our group loved it. Overall, this place has a lot of ambience and great service too. Again, I would say order extra garlic knots. In the first round, they bring them out on the house, but additional orders are at a nominal cost. Delightful place and the food is superb!

This was one of the oddest restaurant experiences I have ever had. I called in a Deluxe (pepperoni,…read moresausage, mushroom, green pepper, and onion) pizza on a GF crust with vegan cheese, but they mistakenly made me a plain vegan cheese pizza on a GF crust first. It took ten extra minutes to get out of there, but they didn't charge me any more than what I already paid, so it felt like a buy one, get one free offer and the ambiance was decent. I blasted the heater in my car so the pizzas were still warm enough. I ate them both in about 17 minutes, and that is really how to fill up one's stomach. Both had a decent crunch on the outside of the crust, but the deluxe was far more flavorful, and tasted like classic Italian cuisine. The plain pizza was smothered in cheese and it felt like I would have rather fed it to my two-year-old sister, but it still tasted good. The last time this kind of accident happened was several years ago at Mellow Mushroom, but overall, I was still treated to a good meal.

I figured a coffee shop might serve up better internet anyway, and I wasn't wrong. The morning crew was bustling but friendly, quickly selling me a cup for the self-serve station and pointing me toward the stairs. The ground floor is cozy and compact, but they've got a second level that opens things up nicely. I chose the light roast labeled 'Autumn Honduras,' which turned out to be a fabulous pick ‐ bright, smooth, and just what I needed. I added a modest splash of cream, climbed the stairs, and found a quiet spot to settle in. I spent a solid hour up there, sipping slowly and sketching out the next leg of my journey through the mountains. It's a genuinely comfortable space, with enough warmth and quiet to make a full workday feel entirely doable. You could easily lose track of time here, and I wouldn't blame you one bit.

Overall, the experience was just okay -- not bad, but not something I'd drive out of the way for again. If I lived closer, I'd definitely give it another try. We started with sweet tea and bread. The bread with dipping sauce was tasty and a nice start. I ordered the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, and my friend had the Spaghetti and Meatballs. Unfortunately, both entrées were pretty bland. My chicken lacked flavor, and I ended up leaving most of it along with half the noodles. My friend only ate one meatball and passed on the rest. The highlight of the entire meal was the Crème Brûlée -- absolutely amazing! If you go, I highly recommend ordering dessert and maybe trying a different entrée than we did. A friend had suggested the lasagna, and I wish I had taken that advice. The restaurant itself is in a beautiful country setting, and the interior feels warm and inviting. With a few tweaks to the entrées, I think this place could really shine.

When we arrived we had to wait which we knew we would but after we were seated at our table it took an unusual amount of time for the waitress. We were only given 2 menus for the 4 of us and the waitress brought glasses and water. After we ordered we were served bread and the server said she'd be right back with our oil and vinegar......15 minutes later we received it. Salad was served by the server then our entrées which mind was fine, my husbands was not, my brother in law had fish served in a cold bowl and my sister had a okay salad. We finished our food and finally saw our waitress again. This place is very noisy and hard to hear each other across the table plus the service was terrible! It was like nobody cared about the customers or even if they liked the food. We won't be back!
