We love making our food from scratch. We could not do it without our local farmers! Fun atmosphere, upscale cuisine, craft cocktails and local artist gallery as decor.

    The whole experience was wonderful. Every dish we ordered was delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We loved the relaxed atmosphere and were impressed because we had time to enjoy each course before the next course arrived. Lovely, relaxed evening.

    Went to People's Kitchen on a Friday night... had to wait a little bit despite a reservation, and while our drinks came quickly, appetizers and meals took quite some time. About an hour passed between when we sat down and when our entrees arrived despite ordering relatively quickly. We enjoyed the new menu items and our food was good, but two drinks, two appetizers, three entrees and tip were $175 - rather pricey for the long wait and appetizers and one entree that were vegetarian.
