    This was our third visit, and they are outstanding every time we have been there. Everyone, from the folks at the front desk to the wait staff to the management are friendly, professional. They make you feel welcome. Once the food arrives, you are culinary nirvana. We have had brunch dishes previously that were outstanding. Today we all had sandwiches and were raving about them. We will definitely be back!! Well worth the drive from Tryon. Brava/Bravo!!

    What a fantastic place to eat! It was very busy as it was 2 days after Christmas. The filet mignon was the best I ever ate. Almost soft enough to cut with a fork. And the flavors! The "house wine" and the appetizers were also the greatest. Can't say enough good about this place.

    This is a great place for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Two things they don't have is live music ie. guitarist and a large bread selection. biscuits, bagels, rolls, but no banana bread, wheat bread, crackers and cheese or different bagels other than plane. That would be the difference between under $50.00 a head and over $60.00 a head. For being under $50 a head, what they have is great Between the two seatings in 2024, there were less people signed up for Christmas than Thanksgiving. It was almost elbow to elbow to walk around at that seating.
