Everyone was extremely attentive and fun to be around! The food was AMAZING!!! You could tell that everything was made with heart with fresh ingredients. Somehow they make dishes that do not sound all that great absolutely DELICIOUS!!! We drove about 40 minutes to get there, but will definitely go back!!

Only complaint about the restaurant is that it can get a little uncomfortable on a hot day. Wish they had air conditioning or a little better ventilation.

Excellent food in a wonderfully quaint and simple restaurant. The dishes are great. One of the best burgers I've ever had. The prime rib was spot on and the seafood is always fresh and tasty. The only slight downfall would be the service. Admittedly we've only eaten here during busy / peak times, but the service has always seemed to be lacking. The staff is friendly, but simply not as responsive and you'd like. The best way to enjoy your experience here is to arrive with an appetite and plan for an extended dinner (with the minor annoyance of having to ask for things 2-3 times) Overall - well worth the trip.
