Despite being very busy, service was quick and the food was good. The bun for my short rib sandwich was lackluster, but not a deal breaker. Many different kinds of customers, old, young, and families. Bathroom was clean and serviceable. The free bread was excellent - I ate too much of it before the meal. Google seems to think this is a hotel, but it is a restaurant.

First time there. The menu is large. I ordered the hamburger with cabbage soup. I had a roast beef sandwich which gave you a large cut of roast beef. My wife had a delicious short rib sandwich. The restaurant is quaint with wall murals and a lot of atmosphere. Definitely will return. Service was outstanding.

Aesthetically pleasing. Top tier service. Yes, at first it seems a little intimidating with the prices. However, they say you get what you pay for! Here you get impeccable flavor, quality, quantity, peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Definitely worth taking the time to sit and enjoy the people, food, and drinks. We had the prime rib special for just under $20 and then the sea salt caramel gelato as a shared dessert. Chef's kiss to everything! Will definitely make a return trip, and that's saying a lot since I'm over an hour away from home just visiting the area. Absolutely amazing, totally refreshed and ready to take on the rest of this trip. Thanks for everything!

Food was great ! The menu has a lot of hearty items that are just like a good mom used to make. Pot roast and pork roast and things that stick to your ribs. Very friendly staff and efficient as well. The interior has a cozy old world kind of charm. Dessert menu has too many choices haha. You should go there.
