Thoroughly enjoyed our visit out on the deck overlooking the reservoir. We began with the baked goat cheese appetizer which was very tasty. The jumbo shrimp cocktail was marvelous too. The sirloin dinner and double pork chop entrees were amazing. The side choices with the entrees were plentiful to choose from as well as delicious. Service was smooth and much appreciated. Great variety of selections in all price ranges. We hadn’t visited in a few years and we were very impressed and plan to return for another delicious dining experience.

We had a lovely brunch of delicious pancakes and a breakfast plate. Every item is perfectly prepared. The food is perfection. Service a tad slow but not outrageously so. Might not go if rushed. Value is incredible for the quality. Adjacent market has a neat variety of foods/products.
