Description

A small, cozy town bistro that routinely delivers excellent, reasonably priced meals—think tender steaks, maple-glazed salmon, hot cheese curds and standout breadsticks—paired with a full bar and inventive dessert cocktails. Service is usually friendly and flexible, but occasional slow or inattentive shifts and dated decor (including tattered wallpaper) temper the experience. Screened outdoor seating is pleasant. Limited vegetarian options and occasional kitchen inconsistencies are the main drawbacks, yet locals and visitors keep returning for the food.

The business is permanently closed. It shut down during the summer of 2020 due to COVID-19. Please do not attempt to visit.

Stopped based on the Yelp rating. Not sure it's a 4.5 star spot. Decor was outdated. We sat outside, which was fully screened. Nice not to have to think about bugs. Service was great. Prompt. Flexible with special orders (hubby added egg to a burger and they had another burger with an egg) We had cheese curds (Ellsworth's). They were hot and yummy. French onion soup was average. Bacon and egg cheeseburger was good. If you want runny yolk be sure to ask. It comes fried. Maple glazed salmon was sweet and savory. The maple glaze crusted. Very enjoyable. The Beefster was bland and maller than expected. It was topped with prime rib, which was tasty but overshadowed by the provolone cheese.

My 78 year old mom went here tonight with all of her brothers and sisters. They all had to sit in two booths and two tables but were charged an automatic tip by the waitress. I thought that was only done when people get to sit as a group? My mom ordered the cod special and received one TINY piece of fish with one little potato. Had to pay extra for the side salad... all in all was charged $18. When she said something to the waitress about how disappointing it was nothing was done. For $18 this little 120 pound lady should not be leaving hungry! Unreal. Sadly we don't have a picture of the disappointing meal.

We didn't have great service and the food wasn't great. I've been here before with mixed results. Decor is old and dreary.

The food is good, we haven't had a bad thing on the menu but the service by one older woman (that we always get! You'd think she'd be friendlier but noooooo. , in particular is bad. When I say bad, I mean we have to repeatedly remind her of things. And slow! We were just here and from the time we walked in the door to when we left, it was just under two hours! For two adults and two kids. And no apology. Like we're just supposed to be patient. Wait for water. Wait for menus. Wait for kid's menus. Wait for our food. Wait for dessert tray. Wait for check. Wait for card so we can leave. It's utterly crazy! I'm giving it three stars because EVERYONE ELSE is very friendly and like I said, the food is stupid good! We'll go back and hopefully have a different server.
