The restaurant is inside of an old house or inn, something like that, and is beautiful. The wood slat flooring is original and reveals the basement below between the boards, there is exposed brick where the plaster has failed over time. Honestly it’s a beautiful place to sit.
Sadly that’s really the highlight. The food was mediocre at best, and unappetizing at worst. For example, the fries had zero salt on them and were soggy. The fish sandwich had all but no flavor. The nachos on the other hand, were simply tortilla chips with melted cheese and a chopped green salad dumped on top. There were 3 black olives, a table spoon of salsa and sour cream on the side, and the wet salad made the tortilla chips soggy. Would highly recommend avoiding it at all possible costs.
Service was meh. The waitress was friendly, but the experience was poor. The first issue was the nachos appetizer was placed on the table approximately 45 seconds before our main course was served. I mean, come on! But that fails in comparison to when she picked up a menu that had fallen onto the floor under our table, reached over top of our food, and placed it back onto the table. Not pausing to wipe it, or taking it away to clean it, just straight from floor to table over top of our food as we ate.
Like I said, atmosphere was charming, food was palatable (and only memorable for the wrong reasons), and the service needs significant help.
