Service gets dinged because of how ticked off I was with the reservation part. I called at 12:30 on a Wednesday to make a reservation (neither my husband nor I have access to OpenTable) and was told they were “extremely busy” so call back in a half hour, I called periodically after 1:00 without an answer, I asked my husband to call, they answered and he made the reservation in less than a minute. I believed I was denied service then ignored because of my fatal blunder of calling during a lunch hour…😒 👎 Anyway, despite sour expectations, the food and portion sizes were excellent! We got 5 menu items (all gluten free except anjou and no croutons on the salad): The stuffed mushrooms were creamy and flavorful! The Meritage salad was a great combo without too much or little of anything. The prime rib 20oz was gigantic and came with anjou. The scallops were even better than the prime rib, perfectly cooked with a tasty sauce. To top off our enjoyment, the crème brûlée was light to eat and the vanilla flavor very pleasing. Our server gets 5 stars for sure. I always drink a lot of water when out to eat and I appreciate her filling my water 5 times in the 2 hours we were there without me having to ask or anything! The place is a renovated old home style building but it is really big, they have a lot of space. The live music was a guy with an acoustic guitar and a wide variety of songs he could play and sing. It made a nice vibe. It was a great time out for us!

The food was very good, the mushrooms were different and delicious and it was all gluten free! Excellent. Our server, Brandi was awesome too. We'll be back!
