I Ordered the Crab Rangoon Dip ($16) served hot with Wonton Chips. They were excellent. They come out scalding. The chips taste homemade and once the dip cools enough to taste it becomes very addictive. I also ordered the Lasagna ($22). It somehow comes out even hotter than the dip. Yowser, it is a nice thick slab of Lasagna. Once it cooled enough to eat it was delicious. The noodles were delicate and tasty. The sauce was right on and there was plenty of meat inside it. It ended up being too much to complete and I had about half left to enjoy the next day. The service is very friendly and does a great job. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Yes, an oasis in the practical middle of nowhere it seems like.

The shredded pork burrito was pretty good and the blackened fish dishes were good. The firecracker shrimp were tiny, lots of breading, and not spicy at all.

From the friendly staff to the absolutely yummy food -- this place is 5+ stars! Our server was also the owner, and she was so fun to talk to!

When we saw the onion rings arrive at the next table, we ordered those too; I'm so glad we did. They were on point.

For breakfast, my husband order then homemade corned beef hash with sourdough toast. I ordered the Irish skillet with cinnamon bread. Both were delish! We hung out for a bit before battling the cold.

Absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere was perfect cozy, romantic, and just the kind of place you want to slow down and enjoy. Appetizers? Amazing. Dessert? Also amazing. Zero complaints there. Now... my steak and I had a bit of a situationship. First round it was very overcooked. Second round it came back still thinking about the pasture. At that point I tapped out, but thankfully my husband (who prefers his steak with a pulse) stepped in and handled it like a champ. All that said, I would 100% go back. The views, the vibe, and everything else on the menu made it totally worth it.

The mushroom soup was just okay. There was too much pepper in the soup. The hot toddy was a good drink. The elk meatloaf was just okay. The bbq sauce was a little too sweet.
