    We were very pleased with our first visit to Our House. We had been to this location of restaurant and want to give kudos on opening up the space -- well done. We came for Wine Thursday and the wine list gave us too many choices and the meat loaf and lamb shank were delicious and we enjoyed the house made Black Forest Cake. Thank you for making our night out one to remember.
