   Such a cute place! Great service. My husband was very happy with the Frenchy with berry compote. I was not as happy with the salmon with grits. It was overcooked and too salty. We will definitely give it another try.

   Very fun staff and cocktails that were unique. Our table had a platter that was enough for three and had chicken and all. Cant wait to go back next visit. Beautiful court yard and hidden path.

   A great start to a morning sitting in front of the fireplace on this chilly morning. The brook trout eggs was delicious! Great flavor and so yummy. Had a cinnamon roll for dessert. Staff was very friendly and very appreciative with the town being so slow.

   Between limited beverage and side options, many menu items sold out, long waits for service, disengaged hosting staff, half our table being almost done with their meal before other plates came out, and lukewarm food that was not well cooked, we will not be back. This experience did not seem unique to our table- I have never heard “I’m so sorry,” said so many times by waitstaff.

   The entrance to the restaurant is truly wonderful - off Main Street down a winding cobblestone pathway through gorgeous greenery to a nice courtyard with comfortable tables and chairs in front of two little very charming buildings housing very pretty inside seating and a bakery. Really a 'secret garden' setting (as I believe this restaurant was once named). The menu is pretty great too, full of creative brunch/luncheon selections. We loved the deviled egg appetizer, each of 6 halves garnished with bacon and capers and served with a nicely dressed field green salad. The lobster bisque was perfect, the veggie sandwich tasty with dilled cream cheese filling and thick crusty bread was good, though needed something more within. And my husband liked the chicken and waffles with bacon jam - though the chicken piece seemed very small (i.e. too small for the price). A major highlight was the trip to the bakery to add desserts to our check. The key lime cupcake with butter cream cheese frosting was incredible, as was the die by chocolate huge brownie. Plus the take home blueberry scone was substantial and terrific the next morning. The problems came with service (someone was in training, so understandable). Though servers were very sweet and orders arrived quickly, they had to be waved down for this and that and our bill was mis-calculated twice which delayed our departure. So although not a completely stellar experience it was definitely worth it for the delightful outdoor setting, the creative menu and the amazing bakery (with reasonable prices). Will definitely return and definitely recommend. Probably quite busy on weekends so recommend reservations - so easy and accurate on Open Table.

   We went to their Thansgiving dinner on Thursday and all I can say is WOW! It was 4 courses of non-stop food!!! We had plenty to take home with us and that was great since everywhere was closed. Chicken pate was very new to me and I'm not sure if it all tastes that yummy, but this was mouth watering. Bacon Deviled Eggs that had full flavoring throughout. Cheesy bread. Lobster Bisque soup and Butternut Squash Soup that had full chunks and creamy. The Turkey - hands down the winner!! I've never had Turkey that I wanted to keep going back for more. fyi a fight almost occurred that evening on who had those leftovers. Hanger Steak that had a perfect sear and medium well cook and was still cutable with a butter knife. Cheesy potatoes that you would never guess would be a star side dish. Cornbread stuffing. Fresh made cranberries. Fried crunch brussel sprouts. The desserts were over the top as can be expected in a place that started their business in bakery and sweets. Carrot cake that was so so moist! Apple Cheesecake with caramel! and deconstructed Pecan Pie!!! Servers were super friendly and every server that passed our table checked up on us to make sure we were taken care of. Best value and price of any Thanksgiving dinners in the area when we were looking other than maybe a chain restaurant.

   We had the Thanksgiving meal… we waited 40 minutes between the appetizer and entree. The hanger steak and ham were overcooked, but the turkey was very good. The scalloped potatoes were also good. Cheesecake and the deconstructed chocolate pecan pie were excellent, the carrot cake was very dry. The dining experience was supposed to include a pastry box, but it was not given to us. Overall we found the meal to be overpriced.

    The Thanksgiving meal was good however overpriced. We did not receive our goodie bag. Coffee was not included, only water. Our reservation was at 11am. The gate entrance was locked. The menus had not been printed.
