We had stopped coming to this place last year because the food quality had declined but decided today to give another try based on recent reviews. The good news is the food is good again! Bad news is the service is still terrible. The servers are young and inexperienced which isn't their fault, of course. It is evident that the management has put zero into training in the basics, however. We waited 30 minutes with empty glasses of water after placing our order.

To their credit, the trout was taken off the bill and my wife was not charged for a glass of wine, but that was not enough to overcome the poor experience here. Would...
Wonderful menu. Fabulous service. I had their version of tater tots creamy inside with horseradish sauce. Heaven. I had one sweet potato biscuit with ham. Heaven. Then duck confit frisse salad. Heaven. Hidden gem. Reasonable prices for the area. I will come again. Also had chocolate mousse. Wonderful Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30
