    We visited here this past September for an overnight stay and loved it. This was our first time coming for valentines dinner since all the other restaurants were booked. Luckily we were able to get a reservation and loved it. They had a nice valentines dinner special that was an appetizer entree and dessert. Quite a few selections to choose. We had a window seat. Unfortunately it was a bit chilly. They accommodated us with a blanket to put next to the window. Very kind. Waitress was great even with it being so busy. She was still able to keep returning to check on us. Meal was delicious. I would book again for next valentine along with throughout the year including another overnight stay

    Been here many times, our past experience on Valentines day was poor sadly. Limited menu which was fine but portions were very small, especially desserts! Prices as expected for a holiday dinner,but next year we will go somewhere else as to not ruin our evening again.

    We enjoyed our dinner! For starters, the ambience of this restaurant is wonderful. We were greeted by a very welcoming host, who was both professional and cordial. Our waitress was very friendly, helpful, and professional. Another server also brought us food/cleared plates,etc and was also very kind and helpful. The service was absolutely top notch. We were made to feel welcome and were happy to be there. The food was good, but not “wow.” The serving size was great - ample portions. One of us ordered chicken breasts, which were just run of the mill grilled chicken - nothing special. The other ordered short ribs. The meat was very tender and the flavor was nice, however I would have enjoyed more of a rich sauce/gravy along with it. Each dish came with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables, which were fine - again nothing out of the ordinary. Because it was Valentines Day, there was a special menu, which we both felt was quite expensive for the food we received. A salad, chicken breast and small dessert was over $60 after tax. Seems very high to me, but I guess this is 2025. With that said, I’m sure we will be back again to check out other menu options. The service was outstanding, and deserves the highest marks!

    Dined on Wednesday evening, when you can bring your own wine with no uncorking fee. Dining partner had the short ribs and I had a blackberry chicken salad that was a special of the day - both delicious. Seated by the fireplace - a lovely dining experience!

    Disappointed with the selection of food and the changes made to the brunch price. It used to include unlimited mimosas in the price but now it’s separate but the price remained unchanged. I understand prices rise but just didn’t seem as good as it used to be.

    Delightful relaxed ambiance with high quality delivery. 6 of us for dinner. My vegan entree was a little lackluster but the rest of our meals were delicious!

    this Sunday brunch is the best. We only go 1 or 2 times a year. A little pricey but worth it.
