A roaring fire flanked by snowy windows, an efficient and friendly server, a good food! What mote could you want?! I got the Caesar burger and my only complaint is the burger was thin (think smashed) and too much sauce so was very messy to eat, but tasted good. We had a wonderful brunch! O’h, and our server quickly figured out my husband couldn’t do butter so made sure no butter or dairy anywhere near his eggs/potatoes or toast!

We had a delicious meal! The Halibut fish and Chips, burgers (with an egg) cocktails, and fondue apps!! Desserts were house made and unique. A Smith Island cake, a chocolate orange concoction and Panna cotta. Great to have dessert worth ordering. Bailey, our server played along with our fun loving Table of 7. We were able to arrive 1/2 hr early and closed it down. Thank you!
