    a chicken sandwich and french fries
    Russ M.

    Great food , great drinks ! Bartenders are great! Place is clean , bathrooms are very clean .

    Grilled chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese. Normally it's the fried patty, but they ran out. It was still very good!

    Great food, wonderful staff, and friendly bar tenders. Makes me feel like I'm welcomed in this small town bar.

    Blta and French dip!!

    I highly recommend the French dip or a burger we have plenty of options, from the Siracha burger to the mushroom Swiss.

I've lived in many major cities and have been cooking for almost 40 years. I didn't arrive with high expectations but the steak was perfect as was our app (The Kahlua Shrimp.) The husband enjoyed his polenta lasagna as well. He's extremely picky so I was surprised to hear it hahaha. The server was super friendly and fun and the chef also checked in on us and was equally as cool. A lot of Yelp reviews seem to just be people with unrealistic expectations so I take it with a grain of salt. I don't typically leave reviews on account of that but I like to give credit where credit is due. I definitely plan to come back next time we are in town! Thanks to everyone for a great 43rd bday!! :)

Very personable and engaging and also give us enough time to visit with each other. The menu is really nice lots of depending on your appetite And of course it goes without saying they have a terrific wine selection. I was very pleased with my food. I had the Cod sandwich with poblano soup. The soup was delicious, the sandwiches very good too. We had a flatbread as an appetizer and everyone seems to really enjoy that. One person at our table wasn't real thrilled with their selection, but they never said anything to the server I looked at the other foods as they were being served, and they all looked really tasty I would come back 4.26

My flounder dish was unforgettable, though I can't recall the exact accompaniments. The fish was drizzled with a delicious soy-based broth, and both my husband and I agreed it was the standout dish of the night. We also tried the fried pork belly (no photo) and passion fruit panna cotta! This panna cotta was unlike any I've ever had--absolutely delicious! Highly recommended, 10 out of 10!

So we were really excited to try this place especially with it saying organic etc. Our server was super chill. Very nice. The food was pretty good. The only thing I thought was odd was that the center of my steak was very cold. The potatoes it was served with was hot. But I didn't want to make a fuss and have it heated or sent back. It wasn't ideal but at the same time there's a lot worse things in the world than a cold steak.

The cashier was nice and had good energy. I ordered a burger and my husband got the spicy chicken sandwich. The burger was pretty good, just a standard smash patty with a potato bun.

There's a cool wood-fired oven for pizza, which was a fun process to watch. I ordered the patty melt, which is something I never order, but I was in a rush to decide & did one of those, "I'll have what he's having" things when my husband ordered his patty melt. We're big seltzer water people, so when we went to order a seltzer and the lady told us it was free and self-serve, I was elated. The food didn't take very long & it was tasty looking! The sandwich was cut in half with smashed burger meat overflowing past the bread. It was glorious. The part of the plate that wasn't dominated by melty goodness was filled with with well-seasoned and crisp homemade fries. I could smell how delicious everything was the moment the moment the plate was set down in front of me. Flavor & texture of all the things exceeded expectations. The patty melt had layers of crispy fried onions that made for a lovely and tasty first-bite surprise, & continued to bring joy with each subsequent bite. Every there was incredibly nice and friendly. Dining there was so easy and lovely. Would love to come back the next time we pass through!
