Taste the difference

A Historic Hidden Gem.

Housed in a historic building on Depot Street, is the definition of “if these walls could talk.” We’ve kept the small-town charm and added a dash of quirky character, yes, that really is a life-sized elephant head watching over the dining room. We’re a local hangout where the service is friendly, the decor is conversational, and no one ever leaves hungry.
