    Service was outstanding. I was with my elderly mother and our server was attentive, kind and patient. Food was fresh, plated well and delicious. Pumpkin pie dessert special is excellent. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the food and service so much. Fabulous! And a generous pour of wine too!

    Michelle (sp?) was our server and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her knowledge of the menu helped guide us in the direction that we wanted to go for the food that we wanted to eat. She was also conversational, but not overly so. She hung around long enough to be pleasant, but then left us to our own devices at appropriate times. For a server, timing is everything, and she had it! The food was also amazing! There’s a reason this restaurant is rated number two in the country for being restaurants. They do not disappoint!
