So there has always been a lot of hype around this restaurant in Freeport, and I was looking…read moreforward to taking my mother out for a nice meal. Our entire party was very disappointed. The food, while edible, was not up to par with the pricing. It's as if the restaurant wants to be high end, but doesn't quite hit the mark with the food. Our appetizer, baked Brie with apples, was served on a black plate that honestly, looked filthy. The rim of the plate was greasy and smudged all over. The Brie had some limp, mixed lettuce as a garnish (that should have been a clue as to the level of attention the kitchen pays to presentation). Further, there wasn't any melted Brie in there, but there was Brie rind. The onion mushroom soup was salty, and all the onions and mushrooms were invisible, having been pulverized into the broth. The servers brought the food out like they were dropping a book on the table. One of the salads ordered, was not delivered with the rest of the food- not sure if the waitress of the kitchen screwed that up. The drinks were okay- they were the only thing not sub-standard. I'm giving this 2 stars because the building interior is historic and beautiful, the chairs were comfortable, and the cocktails were fine. It would be a nice place to have pre-dinner cocktails, but I strongly suggest you go somewhere else for your dinner.

The food was generic small plates--California in the 90s. We ordered simply but the combination made us all feel a bit queasy.

Just one more reason we leave Rockford when we decide to dine out. I should say in fairness it was a busy night and our server, a good humored young man from New York was very good and made sensible suggestions on wine.

The owners did a fantastic job renovating the space but keeping the charm. There is a self serve wine dispenser as well as a full bar.

I have to say one of my favorites is that they open early on the first day of school and the last day of school for mimosas and bloody Mary's. There is parking in the back and two gender neutral bathrooms. Drinks can be pricy... but their lemon drop is worth it!

The space itself is relaxing and would be a great spot to hang out, but the wine didn't quite match the atmosphere. The options I tried were fine, just not memorable for the price point. The food choices were also pretty limited, and since you can't bring your own snacks, it felt a little restricting. Nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out either.

It was served with a choice of sides and we both chose the chips and salsa since we figured we'd be talking for a bit. These weren't your ordinary chips as they had a delicious seasoning on them. The salsa had quite a bite in the spicy level, for me. My only complaint was that it took over 45 min for the sandwiches to come to us and they were busy but not overly busy. Fortunately we were there to talk and catch up so not a big deal but if you're coming for a lunch hour from work, it might not work for you. They do have some evening music on weekends but there may be a ticket charge. You'll have to check their website for more info on that.
