Food was outstanding including pork & lentil stew, chicken pot pie, butternut squash ravioli and scallops. Restaurant was caught short-staffed which made service slow. Although server did the best he could with a completely full restaurant.

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Lea, was the best server we’ve ever had. The food was great. I went with the brisket and ribs, along with Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts. My wife had a smash burger. The ribs were among the best I ever had.

Great luncheon today. Lots of menu choices for winter warmers. I had the beef stew. Tender and tasted great, with a small salad and some bread. Just the right size portions, not to big and not to small. My wife had the chicken stew, and equally as satisfying. Our server was very attentive. We've been here before-sometimes good, sometimes not so much- and this is the best experience we've ever had.
