Salmon Benedict: tender salmon, creamy hollandaise, crispy potatoes as a side. Croque Madam: I may dream about this one, it was so delicious. Creamy sauce, over easy egg that broke beautifully. Two dishes for three of us to share was more than plenty for a brunch. The had basic coffee which was hot and good (not diner-ish weak washing water here!). I have my eye on the chilaquiles & a few other dishes to try next. A little sparse on the decor, but we were there for the food, not the art hung too high on the walls. We will certainly be back.

This is rating is for this place as a lunch spot. Probably not going back. Walked in said hello,…read morewaitress (hotess? idk, first time here) walks up, then instead of greeting us, goes to the cash register to our left. Busily says "hi" and nothing else, then waves over a couple to ring up. There's no one else around. We stand in place. And wait and wait and wait. She never says anything else to us and she's three feet to our left. Because she didn't say we could seat ourselves, we waited for her to finish ringing up the couple. Once she had, she almost annoyed told us to sit wherever we wanted. So, this waitress no bueno and she does her job like she hates it. I was glad she did not wait on us. Please have a greeter, or a sign or something. Be aware this is the rural midwest (I grew up here, I get to criticize). Everyone will stare at you as you walk in and find your seat if they don't know you. It's because the duality of the midwest commands that you say hi to them, but because they don't know you from church, they will not say hello back. Just ignore them. It's the only way to get a midwesterner to stop icily staring at you: say hello to them. If they don't know you from church, they'll move on. I know most locals will love this place, but I didn't enjoy it. It was nothing special and I was hoping for a nice, fun little lunch. No fun. Just lunch, and a very so-so lunch. Cavernous space, adjacent to an even larger event space. Service was fast, perfunctory. Small kitchen, they do soups and sandwiches for lunch. Soup was good, sandwich was meh. It's all the very standard lunch fare. Not a food destination. I'll also say it's not much of a wine destination. Each of ours tasted really green to me and I don't consider myself a wine snob. I've simply drunk lots and lots of wine. They removed the only non-sweet white wine from the menu, the one I wanted to try. Lovely view of the property out back. I remember when the front house was an abandoned property many years ago. I wish them well, but it's not for me. It's more an event space

I always have great service and the friendly manager greets us every time. It's a bar and grille but there are a few options for those that want something lighter or healthier. My wife opted for the Mediterranean chicken which was a pesto sauce. She liked it, although there was no pasta which is a bit odd but tasted really good.
