    Consistently an enjoyable experience. My husband, friends, and I come here often enough and have always had a great experience. Tonight two out of four of us ordered veggie burgers because they are the best in town. Colleen, our server, was warm and professional. That is one of the hallmarks of this restaurant; it seems they hire experienced servers who get along with each other.

    Always a delightful experience. Delicious foods with preparation that allows every ingredient to shine. Always an interesting list of daily specials on top of the finely crafted menu. And the cocktails are unmatched in NE OH. Always the greatest date night. We love a table in the bar, cozy.
