Four of us had dinner there. The ribeye steak and chicken cordon blue were well liked. The pork chop was dry and chewy. Mgt could have adjusted for it but didn’t when he should have. Cheese cake was great. At $174.00 it was too pricey to bother coming back.

Presently surprised. I wasn’t expecting quality given the atmosphere but everything was delicious and beautifully plated. I got the house stake and loved the blue cheese sauce. My wife’s chicken fried steak was epic. The clam chowder was homemade. The only complaint was it was all a little on the salty side, and I like things salty.

The staff was wonderful and very attentive. They are short-handed like a lot of places, so the wait time is longer. The food was cold when it came out, unfortunately, but the flavor was good. It is a little pricey, and the table across the room was extremely loud and bothering most of the other guests, so it was hard to enjoy our meal . Overall, it’s a nice little place though, and I would recommend it.

We sat at the bar (highly recommended) and had a great dinner. My wife had the trout which she said was the best she’s ever had. I had the top sirloin with the yummy topping and a loaded baked potato – yum!!!

Located inside an old repurposed house, this unique restaurant has charm for everyone, whether dining or pub like experience. We ordered the ribeye and sirloin with blue cheese and mushroom sauce. Everything was delicious. Came with a side salad…more than plenty food, although the veggies were less in quantity than my preference. Would dine here again if we are ever back this way. Nice rustic feel right next to the river, but no river views.

OUTSTANDING food and service, truly one of the best meals ever eaten. Outside looks plain but food was fantastic. My caprese salad gave a generous portion of perfectly cooked ahi tuna on delicious salad. My husband said his steak was wonderfully flavorful and tender, and the salmon was perfect. Waitress was very friendly.

Don’t be fooled by the appearance of this restaurant. Four of us ate here and the food was well prepared, delicious and very reasonably priced. Cassie was an excellent and attentive server. I had the chicken Roma which was tender and the sauce delicious. My friends had two different meat dishes and another the Idaho trout. All said their food was great. I had a chocolate lava cake and coffee. Both were good. We all agreed the food and service were great. Look past the exterior for a great meal.

It’s ok. Service is slow. Not offered refills on drinks. Never came back to check on us after getting food, which was nothing I would ever go back for. Had to go find the hostess to pay bill after sitting there with uneaten food.
