Too full for dessert? No problem. Take home some of their delicious brownies, cookies or pies. This family owned restaurant offers both dine-in and take-out meals.
Their menu is vast, and they also have terrific wine and beer selections to pair with your meal. I suggest you make a reservation because the restaurant is very popular. The portions are huge! Come with an appetite!
