    For drinks, we ordered hot toddies - they were perfectly lemony and spicy for this freezing winter day. For food, we ordered buttermilk biscuits, a west-coast style omelette, and a brisket hash - all the food came out hot and delicious. Both plates came with home fries, and they are top notch here. Will definitely be back again!

    Terrific appetizers and entreees; the burgers are phenomenal and the Halibut absolutely delicious. I suggest the Shisito Peppers and Green Beans as sides. The Chocolate Mouse Pistachio dessert was a nice finish. Hats off to the entire staff for making the evening special.
