Visited here this afternoon for lunch. Nice open restaurant with high ceilings in a building that looks renovated but has the rustic feel to it. For our appetizer we ordered the Cone "o" Kettle Chips. These chips came hot and was seasoned very well with a warm caramelized onion dip. ( The seasoning may have had paprika or a tex mex ) and had a good hint of spice. Our mains were 2 orders of Mac n Cheese ( 1 of them topped with pulled pork) It came with a La Maison salad.. mixed greens, julienned vegetables & honey coriander vinaigrette. The mac n cheese was warm and creamy with just the right amount of ooey gooey cheese. Our 3rd main was the RY Smoked Chicken Club (shaved smoked chicken, applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, Herb's buttermilk mayo, & cheddar on ciabatta) with a Ceasar salad. The ceasar salad was one of the best I have ever had. The homemade croutons were very noticeable and the parmesan was so fresh. The salad was so good that I finished it before I even touched the sandwich. The sandwich was great. Right amount of chicken and the bacon and buttermilk were spot on. The staff were warm and friendly and this is a restaurant that I would gladly go back to again!

Stopped by for dinner on the patio and had a great overall experience! The live music created an amazing atmosphere. I ordered the mac & cheese with pulled pork—the flavor was incredible, though I love a good mac and cheese so much that I wouldn't have minded a slightly larger portion. My wife had the pizza, which was very good. We’ll definitely be back!

We came today, as a recommendation from a friend. Mallory was our server and was amazing! My friend had food allergies, and Mallory was not only extremely friendly and willing to go check, but came back with suggestions to sub in instead. Seemed very knowledgeable about the menu and what would go well together. Very very yummy substitutions that my friend was appreciative of. Food came out fast, food was very good, and service was exceptional 👌 Only downfall, that isnt really on the restaurant...finding parking isnt great. Otherwise, would definitely visit again
