    Four of us came in for dinner and had the pleasure of sitting in Teghan’s section—she was fantastic! The pasta was expertly prepared, with the pappardelle being my personal favorite. We ordered nearly every dessert, and each of us had a different favorite, which speaks to their quality. I also appreciated the excellent selection of non-alcoholic beverages. We will definitely be back!

    The food was excellent and the service amazing! My friend and I split the quinoa pancakes and the traditional breakfast so we had both sweet and savory. My friend is gluten free and dairy free but I am not so our server was so thoughtful and made up 2 plates of the traditional breakfast so that I could have the sourdough toast with butter and the cheddar dusted potatoes and my friend could have her gluten free toast and potatoes without the cheddar dust. ❤️ It all was very delicious!! Would highly recommend their brunch and we want to go back for dinner sometime soon as well!
