Located in the center of downtown on a side street with quaint shops, this restaurant is also within walking distance to lodging establishments. The interior has an eclectic décor and features 5-foot brushed steel dividers—made by a local artist—between tables for privacy. The artist also created hammered copper folders to present the menus and billfolds. Rattan chairs are placed around the crisp set tables, and oil lamps, along with fresh flowers, add to the ambience. From the kitchen comes organic cheeses and salad ingredients, free-range chickens, and local trout. Meat is smoked over hickory and oak.
