First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .

We sat on the heated deck and had a lovely meal! Every bite from the salad with a bacon vinaigrette to the perfectly simmered chicken and creamy polenta to the homemade pasta with mushrooms was delicious! This restaurant just jumped to a top favorite on my list, and I look forward to sharing it with friends and family soon!

I visited for lunch to celebrate 1) St. Cecilia’s feast day in the Catholic Church and 2) the publication of my first book. I noted these in the comments of my reservation and they added “Congratulations” to my paper menu! It was a lovely touch. The server suggested champagne and made a few food recommendations, which were delicious! Great experience!
