    I'm hesitant to write a great review. This little hidden gem with outstanding food and service is not so hidden anymore. This has easily become our number 1 spot to dine out in the local area. The food is fantastic, the service is impeccable, and you can tell the management and ownership care about the business. The result is an awesome experience. My wife loves the GF options and our difficult 11 year old has not left disappointed yet!
