The cocktails were interesting and novel. Had the pork schnitzel which was excellent. The beet salad was amazing. Highly recommend! The server was fun, attentive, and he didn't hover! Definitely a must to try out!

Tess was absolutely wonderful in making this a birthday celebration to remember.
From the beginning, she was a member of our family. We all enjoyed her food and drink recommendations that were spot on.
The weather was rather bad on the outside, but the environment was fantastic on the inside.
Fun was had by all, a large party of lucky seven!

I love this restaurant! The food is fantastic, I got the 1/2 chicken and my husband got the pork schnitzel- and it was so so yummy! I also had a great drink called Tis the Season - delicious as well! The server was awesome - she gifted us a birthday champagne drink completely unasked - it was so sweet of her! They said they were short staffed but we couldn’t tell! Excellent service delicious food & drink, cozy atmosphere! Highly recommend 😊

It was a phenomenal experience. The wait staff was excellent. Answered our questions about the food, drinks, etc. The food was amazing, we were fortunate enough to try many items off the menu and every one of them was incredible. 10/10 will be back!!
