Bistro Salad is good. Good value price wise. Desserts look great. Loaded potato soup is definitely loaded, but not much flavor. Desserts and Wine selections looked good 👍

First time here and last time. Barely got to sit and the server was very off putting from the get go. We asked for coffee with milk, so they bring us the little half and half cups. We repeat can we please have a glass of milk and the server looked at us like we had two heads. Mind you during this time she greeted very pleasantly other tables that were sitting and addressed other guests with a smile, but when we asked for something she came off as we were annoying her. Finally we get our coffee and when I started to stir it two dead flies came up to the top of my cup. So no they did not just land in there, they were stuck to the bottom. I could not help noticing that the other tables the server was nice to were white to put it bluntly. I told my table we need to go. We got up and left and won't be returning. I don't expect to be treated any different because my skin happens to be a little browner, and I talked to my mom in Spanish at a low tone so she can understand the menu. I work hard, pay my taxes, and deserved to be treated as a paying customer.

We loved our meals. 3 cheese grilled cheese, tomato soup was delicious. The mirror lake Turkey sandwich was also great. Great service beautiful view.

This hidden gem is worth a wait, if you have to. The food is always great and service too. Can't go wrong with the Smoked Salmon BLT, or the BLT by itself. French Onion Soup was warm, asked to have it reheated, and was fine. Highly recommend this as your next lunch stop!

Social distancing of tables. Some outdoor seating. Staff was wearing masks when I went. Indoor is somewhat enclosed so if crowded I would make a decision to sit outside or get my order to go. I got mine to go so I wasn't around to observe other safety practices.

Are the outside tables spaced 6* apart?

They were. But with some of the restrictions being lifted that might change. But the owner is very nice and accomidating
