★★★★★ 5.0 Cindy Nelson · Sep 2025

First time dining here, sat outside on the patio for an afternoon lunch. Service was top notch (Kat, our server, was very attentive & knowledgeable of the menu items) and the food (I had a chicken sandwich & my husband had a tenderloin) was excellent!! We will recommend & definitely return to try other items!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Devin Ganka · Apr 2025

I wanted to like this restaurant, but left disappointed. The atmosphere and service were great. I have no complaints about that. We were the only ones in there at 5pm on a Saturday night and that just felt weird. The menu is small and doesn’t have a lot of choices, but the food we did choose did taste good. I ended up with the short rib and although it tasted good, it was lackluster. There was no presentation or care. They just threw one piece of meat on the plate. When ordering drinks, it took a long time. Took so long that by the time they were brought to us I forgot we had even ordered them! But, those were pretty tasty. So, overall just disappointed for the price you pay. Expected more.

We went on a Saturday evening. Made a reservation, although once we were there they definitely had more than enough space for us. Our server Kayla was friendly and attentive. She was patient when we took a while to order. Drinks were tasty. Bottle of water on the table made refills easy. The pasta helpings were plentiful. We added chicken to the bucatini. The bucatini became gummy as it cooled down. The pork belly ragu barely had any meat in it, so our server suggested we add a protein. Added steak and got a very generous portion. The pasta was a little cold. Ribs were fall off the bone tender. It was perfect weather to enjoy the patio.

Great atmosphere good food good prices. Came here for lunch and got the corn fritters which are amazing. For sure recommend to try those. The rock shrimp were perfect. Also got a smash burger which was done perfectly. My husband loved their fries as well. Great stop while on the road since service was fast.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Katherine Schopf · Feb 2026

Went for the Valentine’s Day special (booked in advance) and while our server was decent, everything else was subpar. The lights very bright for 8:00 pm and we could hear basically everyone’s conversation within 20-30 feet. So the atmosphere is a bit lacking. We were ignored for about 15 minutes after being seated and when we were ready to order, told they were out of items on the set menu. When we did get our food it was bland, unevenly cooked, and uninspired. Our server did her best to compensate, but we just did our best to enjoy each other’s company, eat our food and leave as soon as possible.
