From the community

“Fine dining for localvores”

Excellent spot for marking a wedding or anniversary. Michael is a well-known chef in the state and often appears on TV and at culinary events. Much of the meat and produce comes from local farms, which helps nearby agriculture. The indoor porch dining area feels romantic, and the barn dining room works well for big groups. The staff is attentive but not snobby. You should ask about the fresh trout.
