Located in an old country store. The upstairs dining room is more formal and the downstairs tavern has a more casual and friendly feel. I love the mismatched plates and utensils with a shabby chic style. Everything from steak to sandwiches. It's where you hear the local business and real estate gossip besides what happens on the golf course.
