Loved this small and wonderful restaurant with a nice change from the traditional. The Asparagus fries is a must have on this menu, along with the fig and burrata crostini with baby arugula and don't forget to add the prosciutto. Just lovely! Service was good and the food was wonderful. Our group had a light dinner, but I am willing... More

Once in a while you'll be surprised by what you find, I enjoy big portions and my pork dish was absolutely humongous. The flavor was delicious! I was able to have a wonderful brussel sprout soup. It worked great with my Adkins diet. I loved the atmosphere and parking.

when one is a owner and lacks the abilty to handle any prombles,and gives it to a chef to take action, then you already know that the place needs help. the severs are not friendly a piece of advice you can tell the servers to annouce that you guys are open on saturday instead of wasting time food and money...

Had the soup and half sandwich option. The daily special soup, a wonderful brussel sprout and bacon combo, was delish. The turkey club on brioche bread was almost too big. It was served with wonderful fries. Very filling comfort food. The place is cute. The owners are there on site to answer questions about choices.

After waiting an hour for our meals to be served, only three of four came out. It took another 5 minutes for the waitress to come out with the announcement that they had run out of grouper. I waited another 15 minutes for my alternate meal while my tablemates ate theirs. The owner blamed the waitress. The waitress said no... More

We were a group of 8 and shared appetizers and small plates - what a great idea! We were able to try more of the dishes that way. All of the food was excellently prepared. The cheese plate came with toasted artisan bread - a + - as well as a smooth spiced up jalapeno jelly to complement the cheeses!... More

Had the burrata on toast with figs and then the amazing duck confit with lentils. My wife had pasta which was also delicious. Great wine selection. Slightly slow service (but nice people). The desserts are the weak link. For example, the banana cream pie was dry and could have used a lot more caramel sauce. Overall a very good restaurant... More

I have been 2x for dinner and my sever remembered what I ordered from my 1st visit. Kale salad and pork chop are excellent. I have been 3x for lunch as well. Salad with the fried egg on top is unique and tasty, tomato soup won't disappoint, cookies with milk...yum.
