We discovered this restaurant one day when pulling into the Price Chopper and noticed it tucked away in the corner on the strip. Visiting in the Spring to Fall you can sit out on the patio next to a fire pit which is so relaxing. The food never disappoints - the Beet salad with Goat cheese is delicious as an... More

The food was delicious. Wine selection terrific. I will most definitely be back. More

We found this a few years ago and always return when we are in town. Small and cozy and the food is creative and delicious. I would definitley suggest a reservation, since seating is very limited. More

But the food - oh my... More
