    As vegetarians there wasn't much to choose from. The restaurant is very pretty and that's the main reason we chose to go there. We went at the beginning of October and had a nice dinner - shared the burrata appetizer and each of us had a salad. My husband had french fries and I had a yummy cornbread in a small cast iron pan. All good. Last week they sat us at a table where the draft from the door opening repeatedly made it very cold to sit there. We asked to move, and they moved us. The food was horrible!! The burrata came in a cast iron pan but everything in it was cold, my "bread" came as toast, and I suspect it was stale and so they toasted it. Onions were everywhere in every conceivable form - grilled (but cold), pickled, mixed into the butter, ugh!! Maybe if you are a meat eater you will do better than we did. When I asked the waitress what she might recommend for vegetarians (some restaurants will put together something from their "sides" on other dishes) she pointed out the two salad offerings. Probably not going back, which is too bad because the restaurant is in an old building which is very well maintained and pretty.

    Had a nice meal with attentive service. Our party of 5 had charcuterie, fish fry, trout, sliders, ravioli, and grilled chicken. For dessert we had pumpkin pie and affogato. Everything was tasty and special requests on GF and omitting select sauces were accommodated. We’ll be back!

    Delicious dinner at a cozy corner table where we were made comfortable and not rushed. Service was attentive. Meal was well sourced and nicely prepared. Went back again two days later!
