The restaurant is not big so I would recommend reservations. The food is absolutely delicious. My husband ordered their soup of the day (potato with bacon and apple) as a starter and I continued to munch on the chips and dips that were brought to the table. Wow. We were now hooked on this place. The main course portions were substantial and the Stuff Me Tender that I ordered was fabulous! My love for this restaurant did not end there... the creme brûlée with a twist (chai tea) capped off the evening beautifully. Our server was lovely.. gracious, attentive and informative. She added to our enjoyment of the entire evening. We highly recommend this quaint, comfortable restaurant with a diverse menu and interesting story.

Their food is truly fantastic, and the atmosphere inside is unique (their patio not so much). The one advice I give is make a reservation. They are busy pretty much every day.
