“We had an excellent meal for the December Pairing Dinner Series. This was our first one and we will definitely return for another. We enjoyed the family style seating and conversations with the table, including the owner/brewer and his wife. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and provided us with not only amazing service but a 5 course meal that was thoroughly thought out and executed perfectly.
