My wife and I came here specifically for their advertised “vegan-modified” Asparagus and Portobello Penne Pasta. When asked how the vegan version differed from the regular menu item we were told their creamy sauce would be replaced with olive oil. We opted for the non-vegan but the dishes significantly differed from each other in that mine had about 1/4 the amount of the veggies as my wife’s (which she graciously shared with me). Good, but a bit disappointing in flavor. I did not inquire if the pasta was also egg-less (making it truly vegan). They did offer a Beyond Meat burger for other vegans. Service was excellent as was the atmosphere.

We are regular customers and will continue to be! I can’t say enough about this place. The chicken Cordon Bleu is almost a must when coming here. Outside seating is lovely. And the patio is dog friendly. The staff even brought us a bowl with cold water for our pup. Staff and host are very accommodating and make you feel right at home. If it is delicious, this stuff is fantastic so if you’re considering coming here, you definitely should.

Fine dining in a casual mountain environment. We shared a delicious rack of lamb. We’re definitely returning for dessert.

Got in right away. The setting of the place is really nice. We got sat down and after 15 minutes without being attended I had to call for the waiter. Once we ordered the food it took about an hour for us to get the food and the place wasn’t that busy with a couple tables open. I got my burger medium rare thinking it was a decent quality meat but no. The burger is 2/10 the meat has no flavor and the buns aren’t even toasted or anything. So dry in your mouth. The fries were mid, maybe 5/10. I could make a better burger at home. The waiter sucked, and walked around like he dreads working here. The other two waiters with the white shirts did a way better job. Wouldn’t come back unfortunately even tho the other food outside the burger looks good.

Wonderful place to eat, did not have to wait to be seated. The service was pleasantly fast. The shrimp plate and the seafood combo is to die for. Excellent waiter and staff. My wife and I both loved the experience, and the food. Can’t wait to come back again.

Food is pre packaged and prepared with me and boggling indifference. The salmon burgers are from Costco. Supermarket buns. We paid over sixty dollars for a Beyond burger with iceberg lettuce, a Roma tomatoes, a thin slice of cheese, and an indifferent sandwich spread on one side. The salmon burger was much the same. The fries were fries. I’ve had much better meals at Burger King, and I hate fast food. The waiter was weirdly rude and abrupt.

It took over 30 minutes to get drinks. Food was another 30 minutes. Nothing memorable. The Salmon burger was ice cold in the middle. Not even an apology. They did offer to make another but my I lost my appetite over the experience. They left it sitting in front of me and never did clear it. Head to ask to have it removed from the bill which they finally did.

7 of us ordered all different menu. Each of all dishes is pretty good. Specially seafood pasta was not too salty as most restaurants do. The service was very good in all detail manner. For myself, clam soup was delicious.

Maybe we just didn’t order the right things, but this place seemed way overhyped, since the food was lacking overall.

It’s a fun old world kind of joint where the bar is by the front and the place has elements from decades past. The French onion soup was great and the drinks are strong. Enjoy hunting all the gnomes scattered around!
