Food is consistently good here. It was Wednesday and therefore burger night - perfectly cooked as ordered and fries were hot and crispy. We also got delicious parsnip soup. Last week we tried the ziti with lamb bolognese - also excellent. Looking forward to having the duck board again this winter. Staff is friendly and efficient.

Everything was delicious, especially the beets appetizer and the risotto. Not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but they will modify menu items to accommodate vegetarians. Overall, a lovely place for dinner.

We had a big group and the restaurant gave us the best side room/ area. Cozy and semi-private, yet still sitting where we could see the bar or look out windows - perfect for a group of 8-10. The seasonal drinks are great and the server was excellent.
