    Did not disappoint. Great biscuits brought to the table. I had a flatbread that was delicious. The deviled eggs three way were interesting and a different and fun culinary experience! And my husband had a beef short rib and it was literally like butter. Melt in your mouth. Probably the best short rib I’ve ever tasted. Then they gave us free admission to the Dolly Parton costume exhibit they have until the end of February!

    Valentine’s Dinner Our waitress Cloe was the best! She was friendly, efficient, & attentive! She is definitely a people person & should be in public relations. The food was very delicious! My filet mignon was perfectly cooked as ordered, which a difficult task. My husband’s ribeye was on point as well. House Salad was delish with house made ranch. We even had dessert for the special occasion which was cream brûlée cheese cake. It was amazing. I have one negative, which my personal dislike . The fresh bread was rosemary bread. I don’t care for rosemary so that is the only thing I would change. It had a great taste even with my disliking of rosemary. We will definitely return.

    Went the night before Valentines to avoid the bigger crowd. My reservation was for "outside " so I was concerned about the weather.The outdoor venue was enclosed and set up nicely with patio heaters and fire pits. The atmosphere was very nice and temps comfortable. Our server Jack was very attentive and a bit entertaining throughout. At the end of our meal we discovered that Jack had musical talents as well as he shared a few notes with us! We had a fantastic dinner.
