    Being new to the area we search out new places to dine other than a chain restaurant. We had a reservation for 6:00pm, decent time for dinner. When we parked there were a couple of cars in the lot, didn't seem to busy so we thought "maybe this place isn't that great?" Walked inside this quaint old house that has been converted into a restaurant, greeted by a very friendly gentleman who showed us to our table. Everyone was very attentive, very timely with water, drinks, apps and our meals. The food was fantastic! Very pleased with our meals. As we sat and ate the dining area was now full, all within an hour or so. Now we know why! We had an excellent time, we can't wait to go back again and try everything on the menu!
