We were celebrating my mother’s birthday and all the little things, from a menu signed by the staff wishing her a Happy Birthday to a dessert with a candle (because at 84 we all still want to feel special) at the end, made her evening so memorable.

People have lost the art of cooking white chicken. You only have to cook it 90% and let it “stand“. The chocolate cake was also dry.  The biscuits & cornbread and side dishes were superior.

All of our dishes were great, but the salmon, trout and catfish were the favorites. I had the Beef cheek -loved it. The fingerling potatoes (side) had an unusual spice and I couldn’t eat those…will opt for the mashed golden potatoes or rice next time. Frigid temps tonight & seating near the windows was a bit cold. Overall, Thank you for your excellent service!! It made my birthday and my night !!
