We stopped for drinks service was very prompt. We were seated downstairs and the band sounded very good from there--we didnt want to pay cover charge! More

This is one of the best places I have ever eaten. Salmon in sherry sauce, + salad, + potato + bread for 18.99? great! Plus they bring all 4 of their salad dressings to you and you can try on or all on your salad. I got a 2nd salad just for this. STaff is super nice and service great. More

Seems like this is a very popular place, and I heard the local in the booth behind me say "I've never had anything bad here". Well, judging from the looks of her, I don't think she's walked away from many meals unsatisfied. All of our dishes were just ok, and nothing special. The tomato sauce used in the Italian dishes...

Who woulda thunk that the food would be this good at a small little cafe'? Looks can be very deceiving! Wonderful place with top notch, high quality, 5 star food. More

The restaurant and the food is good. One of the servers was rude beyond belief. It turns out she was the owners daughter who according to her "went to college and has a day job". She was rude to me and she continued being rude by continually making comments to me for most of our meal. 3 members of the... More

It was reccomended to us by another couple staying at The Jefferson Inn. They had eaten there the night before. Very family oriented restaurant. Amazing french onion soup and homemade dressings. We had the strip steak which was delicious. If you like seafood we heard it was very good. The owner of The Jefferson also said anything on the blackboard... More

We enjoyed New Year's eve dinner. The staff were happy and friendly. Many locals were dining. We showed up in ski attire and felt right at home. They had a special dinner menu and were very accommodating with our children's dietary request. Would definately dine there again. We would be classifed as foodies. More
