This is a place we look forward to trying every time the season changes (and definitely the place your local family/friends want gift cards to).

Although it's a bit of a hike outside the city, still not too bad on a weekday and it was nice to get out and try something new! It seems like an up and coming area for Monticello and development nearby. We came right at 5 when the restaurant opens and got a seat in the high tops. NOTE! If you want to partake in the happy hour, you have to either sit at the bar or in the high top tables. We didn't know this and wanted their chicken wings on the happy hour menu so ended up switching tables. In addition to the wings, my husband ordered the corn bread app which was pretty good too! Wasn't a huge fan of the spicy butter it came with, but strange but the bread itself was good. The wings had a good seasoning and the house made ranch was really tasty! Surprised there were only wings and no drumsticks which I prefer and the wings themselves didn't have a whole ton of meat on them so I'd give it 3/5 on the apps I ordered the 12oz New York strip and at market price it was $62, came with broccolini and French fries. My husband got the turkey burger which he wasn't a huge fan of he said but he enjoyed the fries. My New York strip wasn't seasoned well - if at all to be honest but thankfully they had some leftover A1 from Mother's Day brunch where the bartender made some bloody Mary's so that helped. Can't say the food was a knockout but the service was really good. The bartender who was our server was conversational, great dude, and offered great suggestions. Host and folks were also really accommodating when we hopped around the restaurant so we could participate in the HH. All in all, great experience and nice place to try!

Amelia, our server, was terrific! Accommodating, friendly, and welcoming. Patio was busy but she got to us! Enjoying a 1/2 price bottle of wine and appetizers. Steak bites were perfect, asked for medium rare and they delivered: tender and so good. However, the fake onion rings on the steak bites could seriously get lost, keep the sautéed onions and peppers, bechamel sauce. Also, their fries (the other app) are dangerously good... fresh cut, tender crisp. Consistently good. Served with a spicy mayo, which is so-so. Wine selection was fine... for 1/2 price bottle, can't complain. Pinot Noir, light yet delicious. Not super loud on the patio but is by a highway, yet fairly sheltered from noise. Recommend for a midweek patio date night. They have a decent dining room and bar. Live music events, look 'em up and check 'em out, y'all!

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a while…read more We had a reservation for 11:00 and were seated on time, but our food didn't come out until after 12:50, even though we ordered right away. The service and kitchen timing were unbelievably slow. Several tables around us were also clearly frustrated by the delays. I've honestly never waited almost two hours for food, especially for a pretty basic breakfast. When the food finally arrived, it wasn't worth the wait. Everything felt very basic and under seasoned, and half of us didn't even finish our meals. It really seemed like they were completely unprepared for brunch service. They were also already out of caramel rolls, which was disappointing. Overall, a really frustrating experience between the extreme wait time, poor execution, and lackluster food.

When you do get sat, the service is fast-- your coffee is always filled and hot! The food comes out fairly quickly and is always hot and delicious. It actually can get pretty loud in there. It is a very old building with an open floor plan, so when a lot of people get in there then start talking it can get to a medium roar, but nothing too loud. It's not like you have to shout at the person across the table so they can hear you. The prices are reasonable and comparable to the prices around the area, and bonus **if you have purchased an Elk River Football card, (and you have the card with you) you can get five dollars off your meal!

My husband and I both got sick from the food with food poisoning.The waitress never checked on us until we were waiting for boxes. The host sat everyone on top of each other by the bar.

Awesome food and service…read more We were driving thru town and needed breakfast. This place popped up on the map so we decided to give it a try. The menu was a mix of breakfast sandwiches, omelette, and platters. Plus French toast and pancake meals. We ordered a gyro omelette, caramel roll, and a French toast meal with eggs and sausage. All of the food was delicious! The bread is even homemade. Parking lot right behind the building.
