This place is great - would definitely come back here. My boyfriend and I got the chicken for two, shoestring fries and squash soup. Fries were so delicious and was perfect to snack on with the various dips they sent as we drank our wine. Soup was delightful with really fresh ingredients but of course, the star of the show was the chicken. Loved the chicken and want to make it at home for myself. Service was excellent - friendly, attentive and hospitable. We stayed for a while and are excited to go back. Didn’t get dessert because we were so stuffed!

Really nice experience. Great food and super attentive service. We're on the covered patio, so a little less buzzy than the dining room, so easy to catch up with friends. Highly recommended.
