Dined on a Sunday afternoon. We had a party of 6. The server was very attentive and the pace was just right. We started off with the beignet and cheese curds. Both were excellent. Rum butter dipping sauce for the beignet was delish. The squeaky cheese were fried in a light batter which is how I like it. Had the eggs Benedict which was great. Also try the house rose wine.

Food and service were great. The only thing that could’ve improved our experience was the lighting wasn’t great. We had to pull out our phones so we could see the menu.
