Great food and lovely staff! Prices were very reasonable and the food was delicious. I wish I lived closer so I could become a regular here. It was so nice seeing how the staff interacted with and welcomed both the folks they knew well and first-timers! Just a very lovely place overall. Dining room is a bit small, but they were still able to accommodate larger parties on a Saturday morning. - Mary Gilbert
