Thank you, Lori. This one made our week. 🧡
Lori’s full review, below:
“EXCELLENT MEAL! I don’t know why I don’t read more about this place!!! New chef as of about a month ago. Everything on the menu sounded good.
We had an absolutely wonderful meal tonight! We started with the Brussels Sprouts appetizer, which was excellent (the pork belly, goat cheese, pecans and blueberries gave them an extra special touch).
Two in our party had the French Onion soup and claimed it to be better than their previous favorite from Guides Inn. I had the made-from-scratch Corn Chowder and could have eaten a gallon! With just a slight touch of spicy heat, it was perfect on a chilly, rainy, fall evening.
Our perfectly prepared entrees included a New York Strip that didn’t need the steak knife to cut, a divine Beef Bourguignon that was enough for 2 meals, and a pan seared salmon with an amazing cranberry sauce. The sides included mashed sweet potatoes with nice, subtle seasonings and sautéed green beans.
The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a comfortable bar for pre-dinner cocktails, a cozy seating area in front of a roaring fire, high wood ceilings, and lots of windows. Even the chairs were so comfortable we commented on them.
Service was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Food was presented in a timely manner but we didn’t feel rushed at all. Nice background music didn’t overpower our conversation.
We were tempted by the cannolis for dessert but were simply too full. We will save room for them next time.”
