We had a great meal with drinks and dessert at a reasonable price. The service was excellent. The proprietor was present,friendly and informative about the family history resulting in the opening of this fine restaurant hidden on a side street in Boonville in an old house.

The food is so good. Every time my wife and I are in town on date night we always come here. It is always excellent and the staff is always so helpful and attentive. The vibe here is almost like you are family. We will continue to come here.

What a hidden treasure! Brad took the time to share some fascinating history, which was very intriguing. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. If I'm ever in this area again, I will definitely return.

This little gem is fantastic! The ladies working in the dining area are incredibly sweet and charming. We received just the right amount of attention from the staff. Now, let's talk about the food! My husband is quite particular about his steak—likely because no one can cook it as well as he does—but the chef did an excellent job with all our dishes. The house dressing was delightful with a nice little kick. Overall, I’m fairly certain this has become our new favorite restaurant. Thank you so much!
