This was the halfway point to meet up with our son to celebrate some family birthdays. We waited at the bar and had some drinks and an appetizer. (super excited that they had chambord and could make my favorite drink!) We put our name on the wait list and moved to a table closer to the time of his arrival. The staff was very accommodating in helping us make sure we had a table when he arrived. The place is super laid back with a lot of locals in to watch the game on a Saturday night. The food was all yummy and there were gluten free options for 2 family members. Everything is very reasonably priced. If you are in a hurry, don't go here, it is not a fast food restaurant. If you are looking to sit back and relax, this is the spot. We will be back!
This cozy bistro offers a welcoming lodge feel with a glass-enclosed sunroom and beautiful outdoor patios featuring fire pits and dog-friendly amenities. The porch by the fountain provides a peaceful setting ideal for enjoying a gluten-free dining experience with attentive service.

Pure and Proper has redefined what an elevated dining experience can be. From the moment you walk in, you’re not just a guest—you’re part of something special. The cocktail program is masterful—creative, balanced, and delivered with both precision and flair. The Negroni was a standout, but every drink on the menu is crafted with the same elevated attention to detail.
The food? Impeccable. The arugula salad was crisp and bright, the mussels layered with flavor and served with gluten free bread or sourdough, and the pork chop and pork belly were pure comfort, elevated to fine dining. The Brussels sprouts are not to be missed. And the chocolate flourless cake? A decadent finish that sealed the evening with delight.
But what truly sets Pure and Proper apart is the spirit of the place. The owner’s infectious enthusiasm radiates through design and decor and the staff, whose camaraderie adds a heartfelt, human dimension to the experience. It’s rare to find a restaurant where excellence feels so personal.
We’ll be returning often—not just for the food, but for the feeling. This isn’t just a great restaurant. It’s a place you want to be part of.
