This is a favorite place for many to hold celebrations & spend time with friends & family. Currently only open weekends...this business is deeply loved by its proprietor & patrons. The decision to pass the torch is NOT an easy one and is NOT due to a lack of business... on the contrary!! The ratings on many platforms are glowing & customers want more... more hours, more specials, new menu items... The proprietor loves this business and all the people who enter, but with all good things in life changes are occurring to lead them to make the tough decision to work towards retirement.
