My wife and I enjoyed a flight each, some dinner, and some glasses of wine out on their patio…read morerecently. I appreciated that the tables were well spaced on the patio, and the fact that it wasn't too busy helped us get a table outdoors immediately. The owner gave some wine recommendations based on what we typically enjoy, allowed my wife to try some of the wine shake, and was very attentive in general. I really appreciate how many different wines we were able to try (we shared our flights to maximize tastes) and found plenty that we liked. Our food was great too! We had a soft pretzel for an appetizer, then a cheese pizza for me and fish and chips for my wife. We enjoyed it all. There was plenty of pizza for me, but the fish and chips was a smaller portion than we expected, but for the low cost, it was very reasonable. The appetizer was necessary to make it a full meal, but we felt it was all worth the price for the value and the quality of food. We didn't bring the kids this time, but quickly realized with the casual patio atmosphere and the kid friendly items like pizza and soft pretzel, it would work well for them to come have dinner with us while we taste some more! In conversing with the owner, he reassured us that they are family friendly, so if we want to bring the kids, we're welcome to do so. We look forward to bringing some friends and our families back!
