Set within a beautifully restored 1920s hotel, the restaurant offers a postcard-perfect patio with live guitar, sunset views and thoughtful vegan and charcuterie options. Service is often attentive, but food quality is inconsistent — highlights include a solid charcuterie and memorable vegan dishes, while some entrées have been described as bland or dry. Indoor seating is intimate and cramped. The spot is ideal for drinks or romantic outdoor dining, but diners should be cautious for full dinner service given variable kitchen performance and occasional cleanliness concerns.

The coffee was great, the food we ordered wasn't that good, but we understood COVID affected their operation.

Small menu but very tasty. Nice spot for a drink and some food if you want to stay within the hotel

This little bistro attached to the Blackburn Inn was truly incredible. Had dinner with the sun setting in the background. Amazing service and the food was incredible. Mind you my wife and I are vegan. The atmosphere was to die for. Guitar playing on the patio, I would've given five stars just for sitting outside and having a drink, but the food was truly good.

We had dinner at the Second Draft as an easy place to eat near our hotel room. Unfortunately we soon discovered that the food was not very good. The ?pan seared chicken? was some of the driest and blandest chicken that I have ever had the displeasure oftrying. On top of that there were flies everywhere and on top of the rest of the food it made me feel nauseous. My girlfriendis currently experiencing stomach pains as I type this review?not a good look One credit the waitress did end up trying tofix our order by swapping out the chicken for another protein (the beef tips). But ultimately that can?t wipe this from my mind avoid and go local if necessary. The charcuterie board was good though. Maybe if you have that and leave it would be worth it

Minimal menu, mediocre food. Outside seating is wonderful and inside seating is cramped and only suitable for 2 people per table. Service is fair. Beautiful location but the restaurant is no at all all on par with a boutique hotel.
