Dinner was excellent! (Bacon Wrapped Goat Cheese stuffed Figs, Crispy Duck Breast, the Drunk Duck Burger (Beef Burger topped w/Duck Confit, Bourbon Mushrooms, Goat Cheese & Duckanaise), and Roasted Butternut Squash & Lobster Risotto. A local bar/restaurant that’s been around for years that’s definitely worth the stop. Especially if you enjoy not having the same ol’ restaurant food!
Sat at the bar! Great service, friendly people around! Fried green tomatoes! Wonderful! Ian was well attentive! Cannot wait to come back and try more of the delicious food :)

I was there last Christmas and it was truly a gem! The staff were warm and attentive, which made the experience even better. We started with the gnocchi for appetizers — it was so good I wanted to order another plate! For our entrees, we had the grilled salmon and the filet au poivre. Both were cooked perfectly and tasted …
This is such a beautiful restaurant and lovely for a first date. We enjoyed the deviled eggs, charcuterie, salmon, and cesar salad. My only feedback is the deviled eggs had WAY too much mustard, almost inedible. Besides this everything was delectable. Dave provided excellent customer service and cannot wait to be back and see him again!
Went here for Valentine’s Day dinner. Had a reservation already, so no wait to be seated. All of the tables were full inside, but the ambiance didn’t feel crowded at all. There was a specialty valentines theme menu that they had. Even with it being busy this night, our waiter was communicative and attentive throughout the whole night. We were …
