When real estate is too tough to find - it’s standing room only! For a change of scenery, guests can enjoy dining in the wine cellar where they are surrounded by the 4,000 bottle collection that serves both the restaurant and Symons General Store. In the warmer months, guests can choose to dine outside, on Chandler’s brick courtyard.

The Caesar salad is made with white anchovies and is so much tastier than those same salads made with the standard canned anchovies. The venison blackstrap was phenomenal. It was accompanied by a port cherry sauce that left me wanting to lick the plate - I didn't want to leave a drop.
