I have nothing but good things to say after our first visit to this place. We recently moved to the area and wanted to come and check this place out. Food was amazing, we LOVED the fall special warm goat cheese salad, if you want to add it to your regular menu that would be awesome! Same goes for the apple cider margarita 😋

Loved their perfect Caesar Salad starter, we shared it to allow room for dessert. Had the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly and so very flavorful. The steak was accompanied by mashed potatoes that were perfect texture and temperature. Crème Brule and cappuccino to end the meal were perfect.
