The oysters appetizer and the short ribs entree are my favorites, but it’s hard to go wrong. The menu changes with each season, and the creative cocktail menu is frequently updated, too. Great place for anything from a celebratory dinner to a casual drink at the bar while enjoying some fine local music.

Really cozy and beautiful little place. The beef short rib was outstanding. So tender and flavorful.

I would definitely come here again.
