    We enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast. There were 7 people in our group and 5 had the Thanksgiving dinner and 2 had steak. We were all pleased with everything from cocktails to salads, main course and dessert. Courtney was an excellent server and made suggestions when asked. She was very personable and kind. We will definitely dine with you again.

    My new favorite place to go out. This is a full restaurant now, used to be more snacks and cheese boards. Good variety on the menu, our party had popcorn with our drinks, squash soup (so good we all shared), salads, shrimp & risotto, salmon, cheese tortellini, and a beef dish. All were good (not foodie level, but solid). They also have pizzas and sandwiches for a more casual meal. Comfy chairs, tables spaced apart so you can hear each other talk. Server was friendly, thorough, available. Great list of beers and cocktails, along with wine flights. I do wish they’d change up the wine flights, for about 2 years they’ve been the same 4 options, the fun part about a flight is trying new things. Decor was really well done, even in the restrooms. Overall, would come back here for date nights, pre-show nights, To meet another couple, to bring my kids. Versatile, comfortable, and a menu for everybody. ❤️
