What customers say?

“ This cozy restaurant offers a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of parking spots. The friendly, attentive staff made the experience even better. The meal starts with complimentary chicken soup and bread. The Angel Hair Spiced Scallop pasta was flavorful, though a touch more seasoning would improve it. The chili added a nice kick, and while one scallop was slightly gritty, the dish was overall satisfying. A great spot for a pleasant dining experience! ”

“ Probably one of the best dinners I have had on the mountain! Came with my family for a weekend getaway and gave this place a shot and it did not disappoint, we started with potato skins and they were crispy and creamy, dinners are served with a small side salad and fresh baked bread witch was pretty great with the herb butter. My oldest son ordered the chicken piccata and it was great, my youngest ordered the spaghetti in bolognese sauce reminded me of my grandmas rich and delicious, my wife ordered chicken tetrazzini it was tasty it but it wasn’t our favorite our favorite was the marry me chicken absolutely delicious packed with flavor reach and creamy a must have. ”

“ This is a hidden gem that seems to always have a seat available. The food is very good, and they have a real chef in the kitchen that easily accommodates for food allergies and the staff always seems happy to see you. The best part is because their street sign is not readable from the street, there doesn't seem to ever be a line here when we come even when the village is packed. It is located next to Hacienda grill across from Hamton Inn between Thrush and Summit Blvd. The creme Brule is very well executed, the pasta dishes are a go to for my son. My wife liked the portobello mushroom ravioli. I liked the fajitas. ”

“ I’ve been here 3 times now & am very well pleased every time. The food is delicious, the service is great & it’s never busy. It is however a bit pricey, but well worth it. Tonight my husband had the salmon pica & I had the spinach ravioli with ricotta and artichoke hearts. Soooo good! ”
