We were celebrating our anniversary and were looking forward to a nice dinner out. We were not aware that they had lost their chef and were only serving starters. We had driven 25 miles and were hungry. The restaurant is beautiful but noisy. Our server was apologetic but the experience was disappointing nonetheless. The reservation site asked if we were celebrating an event. We said yes. It was not recognized. We probably won’t go back.

Very lovely place. We had heard nothing but good so we had high expectations. Unfortunately we were unaware of a recent change in chefs or management or something that we could only order from their small plate menu so we were disappointed. The small plate menu was adequate but nothing special. Service and ambiance was excellent.

We were surprised by the small plates menu when we first arrived. However, the surprise quickly turned to delight when our food arrived. We have been accustomed to the entrees on the menu from our previous visits. The new (temporary) menu provided several good options, including the vegetable egg rolls, and the ribeye ponyshoe. The beer cheese soup was (chef’s kiss) really delightful as well. Our drinks met the standard that was set from the very first time we encountered the restaurant 2 years ago. We brought first time guests with us, and they remarked that they would love to come back! We hope the new chef arrives soon and continues to deliver amazing food at Broadgauge. We’ll see you guys again during the holiday season!

We had an anniversary lunch here and it was great! Perfect little Sunday afternoon outing. Food and cocktails were delicious and we had fantastic service. We need to come back for the dinner menu sometime.

Hidden gem. Excellent decor and ambiance. High ceilings and a great rustic look. The food was very good. The hot chicken sandwich is one of the best I’ve had.
