    Food presentation was great and tasted absolutely delicious! Our server, Emma was wonderful as well. She was spot on for helping us decide on a wine that would go well with both of our entrees. Absolutely lovely, quaint and cozy little restaurant. Highly recommend!

    Salmon and Macadamia chicken were cooked to perfection and service was very attentive. Breakfast the next morning was also excellent.

    Amazing food and cozy wonderful atmosphere to enjoy with friends in a beautiful setting in the woods. Such a special treat. Service was impeccable and such a great value for the high-quality dinner we ate, and the wine is very reasonably priced. We will recommend to all our friends
