We had the venison special, duck and steak frites and it was all fantastic. The venison and duck were absolutely next level. When ducks on the menu you have to order it, is the motto I live by and I was not disappointed. It was amazing will go back and recommend to anyone.

We had the best time! The service was phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. There wasn’t a single thing our party got that wasn’t delicious. We went for my birthday and joked that our group wants to go for everyone’s birthday for the next 10 years. You won’t be disappointed!
