Presuming our son ends up going to Truman, we will be back. To start, the rolls are fresh baked every day and served with local honey butter. They are amazing! Easily the best bread I have ever had. They are a cross between a yeast roll and a biscuit with a hint of sweetness...incredible! My son had the chicken piccata which, though the portion was a bit small, was extremely flavorful. He ate every bit. I had the prime rib sandwich. The portion was large with plenty of provel cheese, onions and mushrooms. It was also delicious. My wife got a giant pile of roast pork served with warm apples and a sweet glaze. The pork was fall apart tender and the glaze added a punch of flavor. All 3 of us had the home fries as the side. These were the crispiest potatoes I have ever had in my life. 10/10. Out waitress/hostess had plenty to do (I think she may have bend doing kitchen prep as well) but she was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. A few tips: the restaurant is very small with few staff (like one person who is the hostess and waitress for the entire place). Reservations strongly recommend. And maybe don't come here if you're in a hurry. Service was not fast but it's clearly because they are taking great care with the food and preparing everything fresh to order. The menu changes frequently so check their Facebook for the latest. All of the food is made fresh and they do run out. Book early in the evening if there is something you have your heart set on.

We walked in on the night of my cousin's graduation to celebrate a huge milestone. We walked in and the hostess stated she didn't have our reservation, another lady who was either the owner or manager came up hot and bothered and was EXTREMELY rude. On a hospitality level I give her a -50. She very rudely stated she didn't have our reservation and continued to be awful as we tried to clarify that we had made a reservation. Even if she could have been nice and apologetic about the reservation misunderstanding, I wouldn't have stayed to eat here and support this business. People need to learn how to treat other humans nicely. This lady was NOT nice, one of the rudest restaurant encounters I've ever had.
