cozy atmosphere
This restaurant is a really special place. The atmosphere is cozy and the food is amazing. My server, Austin, was fast, attentive, and kind. I had the butternut squash ravioli with walnut encrusted chicken which was amazing. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, butternut squash flavorful, and chicken juicy and tender. I finished dinner with the mud pie. I don't have any good pictures because I enjoyed the food rather than pause for photos. I definitely recommend this restaurant for dinner!

extensive menu
What a great spot! Great staff and the food was delicious. We sat on the patio to celebrate Buddha's first birthday. They have an extensive dog menu. Buddha ordered the New York.
