I wanna start by saying we had the sweetest server! Overall I think she did a great job. The layout is decent size & flow. They have medium seating inside but there's also the bar & outdoor seating! Right in town & parking options throughout the area although not tons by restaurant directly, no parking lot. Nice & clean bathrooms🙌 Everybody liked their food. One person (crab mac'n'cheese didn't love it). Portions were really good on adults. I felt they were a little small for kids, for price without a drink, although just by a touch.

This place never disappoints. The food is absolutely delicious every time we come here.

Coming from Seattle the prices were so decent! I also enjoyed their drinks, recommend the blueberry lemon drop. Great place to stop by for food if you’re in town.
My advice is to come here for the live music -- Janette West Group plays the occasional Wednesday -- and the drinks, and for the rest, hope for the best. The Wednesday we went, they'd already run out of two mussel specials, and it was only 5 pm. Wood-fired personal pizzas were decent, my husband thought the cracker crust lacked pizza-worthy body, but I enjoyed the tomato sauce to cheese and pepperoni ratio.
