I had a great experience here. The service was casual but friendly and efficient. The food was all excellent and creatively presented. And the wine list was surprisingly comprehensive for a little place out in the country. I will definitely return.

Description: Serving great American food with a worldly flair, we’re open Tuesday through Saturday from 11am to 3pm for lunch and 5pm to 9pm for dinner. We also serve a lovely brunch on Sunday from 10am to 3pm and dinner from 5pm to 8pm. The atmosphere is at the same time elegant and casual. The richness and warmth of the hand-planed wood-paneled walls provides a comfortable dining experience that can be enjoyed equally in dressy-casual attire or hiking shorts. We are located in the heart of historic Sperryville, Virginia, 75 miles west of Washington D.C., at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. We look forward to serving you soon!

We just had lunch. It was fabulous and inexpensive compared to DC prices. A large craft beer selection complimented the varied menu. Service was great. VERY clean. The menu is varied with something for everyone, done well. They really seem to care about what they are doing. Thanks for a great time at a reasonable price!

We had a group of 13 show up for a birthday dinner and Jacob and his servers did an excellent job accommodating the group. The food and serves were excellent and we sincerely appreciate all the hard work to make this a great celebration.

Went there for dinner, the staff was very friendly. We ordered steak and the fish special. The prime rib was cooked correctly but the fingerling potatoes, spinach and tomatoes cold. I would expect the sides to be warm in any Restraunt. Very disappointing.

Fabulous food, casual atmosphere where you can show up in hiking clothes or your Sunday clothes, friendly servers and a nice view of the grill area. We showed up without a reservation on a Tues night with no problems - but the place is small, so you may want to call ahead on weekends

It was a beautiful day and we had lunch out on the deck. I had the turkey and brie and it was very tasty. Be sure to get the side salad. Very fresh!

This tiny but charming restaurant was very good. My filet mignon was beautifully cooked, though e Caesar salad needed a bit more dressing. Service was great despite a very busy night.

Delicious scallops and wine. The restaurant is charming and easy to walk to if you're staying in the area. Service was very good. The only downside is that the restaurant closes early by "city standards".

The place was packed when we arrived (even though we had reservations) but we didn't mind waiting as that told us the food must be really good. Our waitress,Lakota, did an excellent job of recommending different items on the menu and serving our dinner. The manager, Jacob, came over and apologized for us having to wait and took the time...

Quiet, relaxing, casual atmosphere. Good food. Soup and lamb chops was a winning combo; good beer selection as well.
