Had a great time and experience here. Will definitely be back. My date and I both finished our plates which had very good sized portions. The food was well cooked and flavorful & the drinks were very good and strong. Waiter was great and helpful the entire experience. One thing i disliked is while we were still eating they gave the single table attached to ours to another couple. We had to remove our drinks, food, coats off the table/chair even though there was multiple tables open in the same area we were in.

First experience for Sunday brunch was good. A few suggestions needed to accommodate anyone who’s handicap because the place has a lot of stairs. The waffle and omelette station gets very cluttered and folks were standing in line over seated folks trying to enjoy their meal. Need to move it or have more than one cooking station. The two hour limit goes fast waiting on your plates and in line for waffles etc. Overall our server was attentive and friendly. Food was good. Definitely for a younger crowd.

About the restaurant
Our restaurant's atmosphere is what we would call casual elegance. On our main floor, we have a full dining room, bar, and we call this our "wine bar". The wine bar also has front porch and back patio seating as well. Our wine list has over 100 wines from various regions. We offer multiple bottled wines and a phenomenal selection by the glass as well. Our basement, or as we all know it the pub, has 12 beers on draft, an extensive liquor selection, and a very inviting and comforting atmosphere. Both floors offer the same supper menu, with the exception of the happy hour menu. That is only served in the pub Tuesday-Friday from 4-6. Our third floor is used for overflow seating and private events. Our motto is that when you're here, you're home, and we strive to meet that with every guest. Come in and enjoy a beautiful, local, farm to table meal. We'd love to have you!

In the heart of Loudoun County is our dining oasis with two light-filled levels--each with shaded outdoor patios for great people-watching. This spacious location has indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate all event needs.
