The chefs really care about their food. Everything is wonderful. The burgers, salads, and wraps are yummy and the Diablo fries are absolutely addicting. Everything is made from scratch. The staff is awesome, too. Shout out to the big man Tony! The food and the service bring me back every week. Love this place. (Btw, the new bigger location just opened on the opposite side of the theater.)

Wild mushroom tagliatelle was the best pasta dish I've had since visiting Italy.

Love this place. It's tucked away next to the movie theatre but definitely worth finding. Everything is fresh, unbelievably flavorful and unique. The market veggies with mushrooms are a great side. The hamachi is delicious. The burgers and ribs - although I haven't tried them look spectacular. I've been there quite a few times and will definitely be going back.

You can't get better than this, freshest salad and tinder steak. It all comes from the farms, to table.
