Great spot for a quick treat. I’ve been picking up the big breakfast buns for my crew. Egg, bacon, sausage, ham, cheese and fried onions. Absolutely to die for, very fresh. My crews have rated that that’s the best breakfast sand icy up here. The owner refused to start my order when I phoned in, (was 15 minutes away). Showed up and they were got off the griddle. I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was more than friendly. I recommend this stop, great family tan business. Please support local.

Seriously, this is absolutely the most romantic place to bring a special someone to dine. Exceptional quality food, romantic atmosphere, and friendly staff who'll accommodate you in every way. I recommend calling for reservations 3 to 4 weeks in advance as they are extremely busy. Wine list is fantastic, huge selection for every occasion and food type. Tres bon!!!
