The owner is a former wine merchant, this resulting in a long chat about his exciting, regional and good value wine list. However considering my other eating companions I had to choose wisely. While I was about embark on a local slab of red meat, my fellow diners were having fish, so I choose the Williamette Valley, 2008 Oregon Pinot Noir. I know, I know, why didn't I choose a New York State Pinot but they had run out!!
After the wine was poured it was time for the food. I choose the 14oz Sirloin Steak from a farm 3 miles down the road.
Cooked rare, this piece of meat was exquisite. The meat was so tender and sweet. My knife slid through the meat like butter. The vegetables that accompanied the meat were a slight let down couldn't tarnish the excellence of the steak.
To conclude, there is a stereotype of small-town America. That there are no good places to eat.... This restaurant put all the critics in their place.
Highly recommended
Cheers!
