I got the leg of lamb. That was some “last meal on earth” level tasty food. Pretty sure the sauce has gluten in it and I’m allergic but I didn’t even care. It was worth every moment of suffering in the days to come. I live 6 hours away but I’m definitely coming back

This place delivers for both gluten and gluten-free lovers. I got the ginger carrot muffin and the chocolate cookie both of which are gluten-free and was pleasantly surprised by how good they both were. I actually preferred the gluten-free pastries over the gluten cookie we also got. Next time we want to try the pizza and almond croissant which we which they were out of because we came at the end of the day. I will say I was really happy that they had options left so close to closing because sometimes it can be very disappointing to show up at the end of the day at a bakery and there’s nothing left. So kudos to them for baking enough for customers at all hours of visiting.

Just a short walk from the inn we were staying, the place was fantastic. Food was excellent and came out reasonably quick. The service was fantastic, our waitress constantly checking in to make sure we were okay and taken care of. We had the garlic break, steak, some pasta and a couple of small pizzas. They had a couple vegan and gluten free options, the steak was perfect for someone with lactose intolerance. They are dog friendly and you can bring you pup with you!!
