    Covid tents cannot be properly heated, and normally I will refuse to sit in one, but was forced to. $18 for a bourbon PLUS $1 for an ice cube (true)?!?! Won’t be going back for the meh food

    It was our first visit and we were surprised to be given the best table in the house right in front a warm fire. Our waiter was spot on with his wine and food recommendations. The food was delicious and perfectly paced. We are slow eaters which was recognized by the attentive waiter.
