    This place is just perfect! First we had the Parker rolls (must have) the whipped butter with garlic was so tasty!! Second we had the wedge salad which was very fresh and the spicy ranch was so good. Third we had the skirt steak with twice baked potato. Skirt steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. The cranberry pear punch cocktail was great!! All around great atmosphere. Highly recommend!!

    We appreciated the staff and the chef. We had early Christmas Eve dinner and they were very accommodating for offering outside their set menu. Food was great and the peppercorn cause was bomb.
