Passing through, this seemed like an interesting place to go for lunch. Trout dominates the menu -- 100% fine for us. I enjoyed smoked trout with gouda grits, partner took her trout on a kale salad -- both were 100% happily consumed to the bottom of the plate. We weren't drinking for lunch, but there is plenty of beer and wine for those looking for those options. Definitely would love to try the place again for dinner when we visit next.
