Unfortunately, our experience was really disappointing. This is a street full of restaurants that families come to enjoy, so I was surprised by how unwelcome we felt simply because we had a stroller. We were 2 adults with a double stroller, and we were told that it was "too crowded" for us and the stroller. The staff seemed visibly bothered and annoyed by having to find us a place to sit, which made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Not to mention this was the first time we left our home since the babies (twins) were born and it was month 5. We were also told no strollers allowed inside.
We are respectful customers, tip well, and genuinely enjoy going out and trying different dishes. We're more than willing to spend money on a good meal and experience, so it was disappointing to be treated as though accommodating our stroller was a burden.
To make matters worse, the food just isn't as good as it used to be, yet the prices have gone up. At this price point, we expect better food and much better hospitality.
We used to enjoy coming here, but unfortunately, this experience left a bad taste, both literally and figuratively. Families with strollers shouldn't feel like they're a problem, especially on a street that is meant to be a destination for families and diners.

Everything that we ordered was delicious and they had good portions. Service was excellent and the server was attentive. We met the owner and I could tell she was a nice and sensible person. I don't drink but I'll make sure to support her business when I can.

Hunter is one the best bartenders ive had a while, he listens like a bestfriend, cares like a brother and went above and beyond for me and my first date. He accommodated within his reach to fix our app. Id spend my hard earned cash in this establishment solely on the fact that they have a person that still values a good service in such grey world. We all need more more hunters in this world

Extremely disappointed with this restaurants lackluster service, especially with them regularly being a part of the local communities farmers market due to the proximity to the restaurant. However, this last trip was just too unfortunate to not share. Please feel free to visit my other reviews, I am in no way a troll, or acting in bad faith.
My wife and her three friends were looking forward to getting drinks at the bar. The first two of the friends were initially served by a kind woman, and were allowed in despite their bags of closed food.
However once my wife and another friend came in with bags as well, they were berated about outside food and were refused service by a gentlemen named Paul. Rather than explaining the policy, he spoke with a completely disrespectful and aggressive tone to my wife.
When they tried to discuss this policy and confusion with the staff member, they walked away entirely. Very unfortunate experience, and its made especially uncomfortable by the discriminatory nature of the actions. I would love to give this place the benefit of the doubt, as they've been around the community awhile, but when they will not even entertain a moment of responsibility, its hard to not make assumptions.
