Our late night option on the weeknight was a choice between this place and the adjoining tavern. The tavern had been recommended to us, but when we looked at the menu nothing inspired us all that much, or perhaps in all honesty it was the waft of pizza being cooked nearby that lured us in. We spent $68.00 on two large pizza's with drinks. We had the exotic chicken, cottage cheese, cashews and apricot and a tasty vegetarian style, just as adventurous and delicious. We even managed a slice each left over for breakfast on the road.

When I asked about our meal, the unfriendly person who took our order said "all orders are served in sequence." After another 15 minutes went by I asked again what happened to our order and was told the same. I then requested that the order be cancelled and the charge returned to the credit card. The owner refused to return it to the credit card and gave me cash but made sure he deducted the cost for the two coffees, that were brought to us 30 minutes after being seated. If the owner had said we are slammed and apologized it wouldn't have been a big deal but to have unfriendly staff, automatically disregard question, and refuse credit card return, it seemed like things are going downhill.

It has a good range of food from breakfast through to dinner and the quality is very nice - fresh, colourful and tasty. My companions and I enjoyed burgers, chips and a large garden salad in this visit. This was my first but my friends have been before and enjoyed many other options. There's frittata and quiche in the cabinet, with baked goods, sandwiches, salads and all sorts of things. Coffee is a little weak for my taste, but that's obviously personal preference. The setting is hard to beat, with a great outdoor patio that would have a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains in summer or winter. I'll be back, thank you.
