Upon walking in you'll notice that it is a very small restaurant with their lights dimmed low. The bar area is ready to be taken in photo and put in one of those decorations magazines. The hostess was great, the waiter we got was really friendly, knowledgeable and the food recommendations were FANTASTIC. We got the chicken wings with pickled carrots and house ranch, the side of pulled pork, their Pig Mac burger (a double) and their duck fat French fries (OMG). Everything was good, we would just look at each other and say "did you try this, did you have a bite of that?" my only regret is that I didn't get a chance to try their skillet cookie and that we live more than an hour away. We will definitely go back and eat at this restaurant again.

It gets busy and they don't take reservations. They do have an online waitlist but we went around 4:30 and didn't have to utilize it. Our party of 6 climbed camel's hump earlier in the day and showed up famished. We knew this was the right pig out spot for us to refuel from the moment we walked in, smelled the food and saw the amazing ceiling-high bar. The smoked meats were outstanding. High quality cuts smoked to perfection. We had an order of every meat they offer and they were all just as good. That being said, I could go back just for the cornbread w maple butter. My word, it was like eating cake for dinner. The Mac & cheese was ooey and gooey with a nice crispy top. And the cookie skillet was like a party in your mouth. We didn't think we'd be able to finish everything but there wasn't a crumb to be found when we were done. As far as service goes, it was as good as I've ever had at a place like this. Our server was laid back yet always on top of things. We never waited for anything and her timing was perfect. There's outdoor seating if that's your jam. We sat in the large table by the window and got to look out on main st. It couldn't have been more perfect.

Ordered a simple latte with oat and maple flavor. Usually a latte either has too much milk, too sweet, or plain. This one amazed me. Honestly never had the perfect ratio of milk to coffee. The server was observed with another patron explaining his recommendation which made me definitely trust him and his level of expertise ~ they seem to offer tours and tasting but it seems like for the summer months, it's mostly mid week.

I had great expectations because of reviews and I hate to leave a negative review on popular places. The cashier/server was friendly, and the place has a classic small American café vibe, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the food really missed the mark for me. The "crispy cheese" just tasted burnt rather than crispy, and there were way too many greens--cilantro and parsley--which completely overpowered the sandwich. I also didn't care for the sauces at all. Overall, it wasn't a good sandwich. I didn't even finish it and ended up going somewhere else to eat. Between the long wait and the disappointing food, I don't think I'd come back.

Our first visit, we each walked out with few things we wanted to try. I had ham and cheese croissant (AHMAZING! Juicy slices of ham between buttery cheesy layers), Almond Croissant (the first taste was the citrusy cream which I found very unusual for an almond croissant but it worked! So so good!), and I spotted these clusters thingy called Chapeau so had to get it as I had never seen anything so cute and it's got strawberry jam (oh my word.. the most delicious thing! The cluster is made up of bits of croissant and strawberry jam to hold them bits together. We're talking crunchy bits on the outside and soft sweetness inside, to die for!). The other gals each got the cheese and chives danish things and they both loved it. The chives and cheese perfectly complement each other and the aroma was some culinary magic level. We also got some cookies to munch on after dinner. The Rosemary and Lemon butter cookies was my favorite. The double chocolate tasted like a cross between brownies and chocolate thins and perfect for after a spicy chicken soup from Wilaiwan's down the street :) I can't wait to go back!!
