Why would you go to a chain restaurant when we have this local gem that grows most of the food it prepares? Our son is one of the most pickiest of all our kids yet raved about everything he ate! Phenomenal steaks with careful attention to temperature preferences, a la carte items that have a Dutch influence, and a tomato salad unlike anything I’ve had before - extraordinary. Service was outstanding and meticulous led by Savannah and Matthew. This will be our go to for this type of experience!
