I visited on a Thursday evening to finally sample food so close to where I live. The interior and bar area looked clean and inviting, even if there were fewer customers this day. Bar service had a pleasant, attentive, and almost Chick-Fil-A like quality throughout my two hours eating. The guy behind the bar checked on me at appropriate times, knew when food should be arriving, and removed plates rather promptly. I ended up ordering brussel sprouts to start followed by pot roast and lemon chicken dinners and finishing with their apple huckleberry pie. The food had something of a homey feel to me and uniformly manageable and reasonable portions.

The brussel sprouts arrived warm within several minutes after ordering. They had a properly charred look and taste to them along with a brininess from the capers and lemon. The cheese on top would have been enough of a garnish, but the croutons were crisp and added still to this appetizer. A little more garlic flavor would have put this dish over the top for me. The pot roast was cooked well and had only a couple of small bits that were mainly fat. The mashed potatoes were smooth without tasting of too much cream or butter, and the spinach retained its earthy taste as the garnish. The carrots could have been cooked a minute or two more to takeaway some of the crunchy texture. The gravy was not too salty or gluey and had just about enough volume to go with the other ingredients. The lemon chicken had a similar charred flavor as the brussel sprouts and was cooked well while resting juiciness at the thicker parts of the fillets. The cauliflower mash was just as good as the mashed potatoes, and the green beans felt properly cooked. A little seasoning for the green beans and uniform thickness of the chicken would have nearly perfected this offering for me. The pie had a freshly-made tasting crust that did not feel overly buttery in a good way. The thin pastry has a slight crunch on the top and pleasing to eat in its own. The apples were cooked properly and not over sauced in the middle. Be warned the huckleberry component comes in the form of something like jam consistency at the bottom of the pie with the apples on top. I found this combination interesting even if I wanted more huckleberry flavor. The ice cream was smooth and thankfully generously portioned.

The total bill for these offerings stood at just under $70 including a refreshing light aqua fresca. The value in this meal came from the earthy, homey feel to the entrees and the pleasant service. I could see myself coming here to watch a game or treat family or visiting friends based on what I experienced. I would like to return to sample other fare in the meat category such as meat loaf and burgers and maybe one or two other desserts that caught my eye. All in all a visit I am glad I made!
