Great experience, loved the food and they have really good vegan and gluten free options. Full bar with a good selection made this a really good night out.

Ive ordered a few burgers from here one night and they were honestly decent burger. Not bad but I wasn't gonna get them again. My wife and I decided to try their brunch. We walk in and are seated and waited on by a very performative acting human, acting like a game show host more-so than a human who are face to face with. I can't speak for everybody but its uncomfortable to interact with such an inhuman tv persona face to face. This person acted as if they learned the entirety of their social skills from tv and movies. My wife ordered a bacon breakfast burrito. I ordered a bacon avocado tomato omelet. I inquired as to what could be made gluten free. The waitress then specified most anything on the brunch menu could be made gluten free. I asked if they had corn tortillas to make a breakfast burrito, turns out they do but they didnt have them out and ready so we couldnt have them at that time. So then I inquired as to whether the french toast could be made gluten free by using the gluten free bread they have for sandwiches. This was also unachievable despite having the bread. I didnt press further and settled for the omelet I mentioned. My wife got her burrito and upon taking her first bite she said she could not taste any bacon. Then another bite and she was convinced there was no bacon. We alerted our waitress. The waitress then proceeded to tell us there is bacon in there it was just chopped up. We then insist that if we could not see or taste any bacon in the burrito, is their bacon in the burrito? The waitress insists she must check with the chef. Now this was rather strange. You can ask the chef or the guy down the street, it matters not. If no bacon is sighted nor felt nor tasted nor eaten nor smelled nor even heard can there be bacon existing in the burrito? We then display to the waitress an unfolded mess of the innards of the burrito to display all the ingredients listed and accounted for with the exception of bacon! The waitress then takes the burrito to the chef to show her the lack of bacon and offers to cook us three "extra" strips of bacon. This was absolutely outrageous to me to not only offer three "extra" strips but to imply there is anything extra about it considering there was no bacon in the first place even make the other three strips extra! At last this was mockery of a dining experience. I feel regret for these mountain community's, they deserve to have much better dining opportunities. Stone Creek Bistro and Puglia are the only ones that are worth the hassle. They always go above and beyond.
