    Lovely new restaurant! The cocktail menu is creative and very good. The food menu was small but had a really great selection and was not overpriced for this area. The halibut was fantastic, as was the rice pudding dessert! The service was very good, and the owner was hands on and friendly and fun to talk to. My only critique is that it suffers from what almost every restaurant in our area suffers from -- it's very loud inside and you have to speak in raised voices at your own table for conversation. We will definitely be going back and we surely will recommend it to our friends!

    Food was amazing - will totally go back for that for sure and drinks were spot on - servers need to be a little more knowledgeable regarding alcohol - honestly all and all it was amazing and owner is super nice and very friendly so that’s super important - great meal and plan to go back

    New restaurant in our small town. Great curated menu, excellent service. Love the vibe and design of space. A little pricey but certainly not more than many in the area
