    This gem of a spot for lodgers and locals alike continues to improve immensely from the last couple of years. Its menu has been streamlined and offers great local products now listed on a board when you walk in! Also, service and check-in from management is timely and friendly and spot on. Food was amply portioned and served simply with success. I think they’re nailing getting this right for every generation. Busy beautiful summer Tuesday night and it was great to be there.
