What a unique and interesting restaurant! My friend said the chicken salad on a croissant was amazing. The chicken salad contained fruit and nuts which was a pleasant surprise. I had the half and half - shrimp and corn chowder and the turkey and cranberry panini. The chowder was delicious and the panini could have used more cranberries for my liking but it was still very good and filling. I will definitely be returning to eat there.

I had lunch here with a friend and I had the adult grilled cheese. It was really good. I was disappointed in the sides they had so I got french fries and they didn't taste very good. The price of the french fries was really surprising( $3.50). That is definitely some expensive french fries and I didn't eat them because they didn't taste good. I wanted to get a side of chicken salad to go but they wouldn't do that. I could only buy a pound which is a lot for one person. I think this was unreasonable. I think some places need to be more flexible.

The atmosphere here is fantastic, a beautiful upscale farmhouse vibe with fabulous lighting and decor. My wife and I came in on valentines with no reservations so a bit of a wait to be seated was expected..20 minutes wasn’t bad at all. Our drink order as taken promptly and they were delicious. However, from there it starts to go down hill… 30 minutes wait for our appetizer to arrive the saving grace here was it was savory and we cleaned the plate completely. Thank the good Lord we did as dinner did not arrive for another hour. We watched as people seated after us received their food, ate, paid and departed before our food arrived at our table. Once we had something to eat I was a bit taken back by the portion size as I expect crab cakes to be on par with burger Pattie’s but these were nowhere close, more of a crab cupcake than a crab cake. My wife’s shrimp and sausage pasta was flavorful with plenty of what appeared to be sun dried tomatoes the accompanying 4 shrimp seemed a bit light but after waiting over an hour we were simply ready to eat. In the end yes what we received was good and the service though slow came with a smile and an apology for the delay.

We came here for Valentine's Day dinner 2024.The atmosphere and music were so inviting and peaceful. Our waitress Sophia B was probably one of the nicest and most helpful we've experienced anywhere! Our food was deliciously prepared and served. The desserts ? were heavenly. At the end of the meal, the manager Jacqueline came over to check on us. We informed her of the overall great experience we had this evening and that we look forward to returning again soon.Parking: Plenty of parking nearby

Our party waited over an hour for drinks and 3 hours for food. Waitress never checked in, apologized for the delay. The bill was done incorrectly multiple times because the waitress said she lost the paperwork and had to try and remember what we had. Had the seafood pasta which was lukewarm and the scallops mushy. The pasta was overcooked and in big clumps. Awful experience

The chicken soup was good but not really hot. The sandwich was tasty. The staff was very friendly. Price a little bit high. The bathroom a little pretentious use normal toilet paper and reduce your price 15%.

I like the food at this restaurant but service is hit or miss. This is the second time we left before ordering. We were promptly seated and the hostest was friendly but we waited over 10 minutes and never were acknowledged by the wait staff. I don't mind waiting if people are busy but when you go past the table several times you should at minimum say sorry I will be right with you or something to that effect.

Waited 45 minutes for a take-out sandwich, only to find out the cashier never sent the order to the back. Did not have time to continue to wait so asked for my money back - the manager came up in unprofessional restaurant attire to make the refund. No apology, no greeting, nothing. Never made eye contact and conveyed she could care less. I witnessed people in line leave without ordering during my wait as well. I WAS a customer, but after this attitude today I will not be returning. Pretentious and unprofessional Manager. I would suggest thst you spend your money and time somewhere else.On a side note- perusing the owner replies to less than stellar reviews they have received further conveys the unprofessional attitude that I encountered today - snarkiness and condescension to customer concerns by any business paints a picture of how that establishment is run. Should I have seen some of those replies before today I would have stopped patronizing this establishment long ago.

Service was very slow, especially when they had 3 wait staff and 10 tables filled. The Beer Pub burger was charred, they didn’t even ask how we wanted it cooked. The shrimp tacos were served with a pico de gallo that was old, as it was sour. The sweet potato fries came with a tablespoon of ketchup and no refills. The menu no longer has the deli style sandwiches that they originally had. It was a sad visit.***Dear proprietor, I would like to apologize for mistakenly misidentifying the "Beer Cheese Burger" as a "Beer Pub Burger" at your establishment. Furthermore, I recall that on that particular evening, you indeed offered Shrimp Tacos. Over the years, I have frequented your establishment numerous times. In the past, your sandwiches were renowned for their exceptional quality. However, I must express my disappointment as your food and service now resemble that of Taco Bell. Moreover, your unprofessional response aligns with the subpar standards exhibited by the establishment mentioned above.
