Usually our go to place. I guess valentine’s Day overwhelmed them a little. Slow service, they took both burgers off the menu (splitting the lamb burger is a tradition with us, that sucked) and the food was more meh than I’ve had before. Chicken both a little burned and a little undercooked: coq a vin lacking flavor.

Wouldn’t go back. Food was definitely overpriced for the poor quality. I hope they can improve because I like to see small business succeed.
