Food scene

Casual place with upscale food, nice beer and wine selection, apres cocktails and perfect location just next to gondola. Has outdoor fire pits which are a fun place to have a drink. Our favorite snacks are truffle potato chips, butternut squash soup, chili. Their take on the Bloody Mary is favorite drink, though we haven't tried them all (yet).

Great family friendly option. Decent pizzas. The gouda Mac and Cheese with ham/bacon is amazing. Fresh-baked cookie dessert is a kid-pleaser.
