This is a look at the menu, order at the bar type place, but the food won't disappoint. There are some great options to choose from, and every time I've eaten there I've left promising the bartenders I'll be back. Highlights: Venison burger, fresh ales, fresh salads - fresh in general is a good description and the atmosphere is clean but also warm and cozy. Highly recommended if you want a casual but excellent bite to eat.

Since then, I've been back for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Needless to say, I've been happy each time. The Eggs Benedict is delicious with perfectly cooked but runny eggs and a rich and smooth Hollandaise sauce. My steak was well-cooked and lightly seasoned although I could go for a little more seasoning so maybe I'll try the peppercorn sauce. I've forgotten some of the other dishes I or my dining companions have had but there haven't been any complaints. The building has several different areas with slightly different atmospheres, but I'm embarrassed to say that in all my visits, I haven't made it past the seating in the front.

Service is very friendly, but if you catch them on a busy night be prepared to wait a while for food.
