The deep-fried battered Garlic Cauliflower appetizer is outstanding and big enough for four people to share (or two people to fill up on). Highly recommended! Very nice Steelhead Trout entree had a great winter succotash based on butternut squash which complemented the fish perfectly. If you have a large group, be aware that the larger tables do not have actual chairs but rather wood-stump stools to sit on which some diners may find uncomfortable. That being said, our party of two had regular chairs at our table for four and didn't have that problem.

While the service was excellent and drinks were good, the lobster was fishy, and the mahi salad was bland.

Brought the wrong drink, insisted it was what I had ordered. Let the used plates accumulate at our table. Tiramisu dessert was completely not a Tiramisu.

Smash burger and fries were delicious. Friend of the salad with salmon. Salad was really good, salmon tasted good, was just a little over cooked. Overall a good spot for a quick dinner in a mountain town!
