The four of us enjoyed the dinner immensely! The food was great, and the service was very good. There was a crying baby two tables over, but other than that the sound level was fine the ambience, very much a log cabin with old stone fireplaces, lovely.

I ate at the bar where I have the opportunity to observe the amazing Kayla in action. She was very attentive despite being busy and made sure that all of my food and beverages were to my liking. I had a wonderful dinner and I will be back!

Great menu, quick/friendly/knowledgeable service, market fish (corvina) "oscar style" was excellent, duck breast was perfectly cooked and moist. Fresh bread was served with 3 types of butter-very good. Wine menu-very good. Been here twice...if it was closer to home we would come more often.
