    Delicious dinner. Servers were efficient and friendly. Truly enjoyed our meal. Table was oversized so it was difficult to talk & hear our friends across the table due to the loud party next to us. Management was very sympathetic and went out of their way to compensate us. Would definitely return and highly recommend this gem on Main Street

    Sadly not so great. We had a 1pm reservation for 2 for lunch. We arrived on time but they had not saved a table for us. We were told it would be a 15 minute wait… it was over 30 minutes and no apology. If the bartender hadn’t reminded the host that we were waiting, the table would have been given to someone else. Service was good, food was good but we are unlikely to return due to lack of care.
