Wonderful first time visit. My husband and I had a great lunch. The mushroom sandwich was awesome and you have to try their crackled potatoes. They were perfect.

Everything about dining here was great ... awesome service from our server, Taylor, excellent food with generous portions, from the beginning bread & butter board to the desert, it was all great.
After dining, go up to the rooftop and take in the view.
You can see all the way from Crowders Mountain to Charlotte.

Everything was delicious. We are local and wanted to eat somewhere new for a dinner date without being in the rush of traffic or crowds of people. It was perfect. Great selection of wine. Everything was cooked to perfection and the service was great! We will definitely be back
