    My first time eating here…read more First, the establishment had two eateries... one is a casual sport bar atmosphere the other is a more formal dining room. Entrance isn't immediately obvious the dining room is on the left side of the building from the street. The sportbar is in the right side. Whatever... I ate in the dining room. It was a nice quiet space where your can enjoy a quiet conversation. I liked that. Service was friendly and at least initially was attentive. We got drinks and menus than she disappeared! For 20 minutes! Ugh. The good news was that the food came out quickly once the offset went in. I ordered the tavern burger without bread. It was tasty with nice crisp edges without ending up dry and well done inside. I really liked the fries which came out hot and stayed crisp without all that nasty coating you find in other places. In all I was satisfied with my visit. Good, not outstanding. I will visit again. I guess that's an endorsement, right?

    I was with a large party of friends and they provided us great service. Large parties can be…read moredifficult but they handled it perfectly. You should definitely try the crab fondu. I think this is now my favorite appetizer. The food was also good. They do homemade pot pie. The steaks were cooked correctly and the chicken wings are tasty.

    I love this place! We came here on a lazy snowy Saturday right as it opened, and we got a great…read moretable right by the window. It filled up fast, and there was a lively bar crowd, and also an engagement party celebration upstairs. All of the servers were so friendly, and happy to share their favorite dishes and beers, etc. We started with the wings, which were great, and then we had the house salad with salmon and the burger and fries. OK, I did not order the burger and fries, but my boyfriend did, and I ate half the fries on his plate, they were that good! Great, friendly, with generous pours for wine, and just a really friendly, great place with perfect food for a winter day. I wish I could find a place like this in Washington, DC.

The server was great very attentive and patient as we ask lots of questions about the menu. They have a new burger item every week so we all tried that it was a Smashburger with crab on top pretty good and very big. They had an option to upgrade the truffle fries which we did and the fries were great. Would definitely come back if I was ever in town again to try something new.

    Came here due to high recommendations locally. After looking at the menu, it was an easy sell…read more Made reservations for 2 and left a message on the same day. Located on a hill - plenty of parking across the street. The restaurant is inside an older style home but it still has nice space, and is very quaint, quiet and intimate. Low lighting and just a very cozy atmosphere. The time of your reservation is the time of your seating so coming early doesn't mean you'll be sat early. Ordered a mixed drink from the bar and a half bottle of some wine for the table. It is a fixed price menu, but there are some very good options that cover a lot of different flavors and tastes. For an appetizer I went with the special soup: French onion - which wasn't the traditional kind with the cheese melted over the bowl. Instead it was a piece of bread with melted cheese in the soup. Not my favorite presentation I've ever had of this dish - but the flavor was good. Also tried the fried green tomatoes - which were good. Really liked the pimento cheese under the tomato slices and the other garnish sauces on the plate. For my entree I chose the filet mignon. It was paired with mashed potatoes and a cream sauce. Steak was ordered medium, parts of it were definitely rare. Still very good. Added a side of mac and cheese which was very creamy and good. For the dessert, I opted to go with the carrot cake. Probably the best dessert I've had in recent memory: cake was moist, the topping was a very sweet cream cheese and caramel drizzle. Overall, this place was very good. Our waitress was very personable and talkative, providing ideas and taking the time to make sure our experience was normal and comfortable. Would highly recommend here.

I didn't expect to find such a gem in this more rural area but I stand corrected. Love the concept and what they are doing here. The historic house is so charming, it's in a small intimate setting and everything from the halibut to hush puppies with wild ramps was amazing. Wine selection and cocktails with recommendations were very well curated. Service and recommendations was top notch. We will definitely go back when we come back to visit!
