We love making our food from scratch. We could not do it without our local farmers! Fun atmosphere, upscale cuisine, craft cocktails and local artist gallery as decor.

    The chicken sandwich was like no other chicken sandwich I've ever had. The combination of a classic chicken sandwich with an Asian twist was amazing. Best chicken sandwich I've ever had!

    Love this place. Food is consistently good, and the service is always friendly and efficient. Nice ambience, good menu offerings… great to have a kitchen that really knows what it’s doing.

    Full house for lunch as it was very busy, which makes everything a bit louder. Expected longer waits for things but not as bad as one would think. Service was still good even though being super busy. Food was still at its high quality even with being busy.

    Amazing food as always. We were sat by the door when there was no one in the restaurant and asked to move because it was a special occasion…and we wanted to spend time with the people we were dining with…instead they put us in the middle of the room. The restaurant was empty. It would have been nice to not be under the spotlight. The food was delicious!! The service was good not great. The server didn’t seem to know the menu very well or the types of booze they offered. The salad came after the entrees but otherwise it was great!
