Hailey Sprague is amazing! Her bartending skills are impeccable. We sat at the bar and watched her make drinks with perfect pours and my vanilla Lattini was absolutely amazing! Carla made my 2nd one and just as delicious. Both ladies were very personable and helpful. Crab Rangoon omelet was delicious as was the jalapeño hash app was to die for! Definitely coming back!

Stopped in after a meeting to unwind a tad and grab a bite to eat. They have a quiet tucked back all seasons room with a great view.
