I enjoyed the brunch time music. The scramble eggs were well cooked, the sausage was unusual, a bit crumby and bread like, and I should have asked more questions. The fried potatoe slices were the best part of the dish very tasty.

Decent food, great ambience, live music was nice. Food is pricey for quality but isn't bad, medium portions, go for the atmosphere. Cocktails were good but not very strong especially for $16

Wonderful rustic decor perfect for a blues club. Friendly responsive service. The music by Bruce Bear and friends didn’t disappoint. I came from 3 hours away. Worth the drive

They gave us the table we asked for and accommodated a last minute addition to our reservation on a Saturday night. Everyone enjoyed their dinners, especially the burgers and the beet salad. Our waiter ( I wish I could remember his name) was very pleasant and brought the drinks very quickly. He also had the appetizers and dinners delivered on time so we could make a performance next door on time.
