Unfortunately did not turn out well for our group. Seated us promptly but after that, service was not efficient for a large group. Mind you, we were a group but paid separately. But added a tip because group was over 20 individuals. Read what I said before, we all paid separately. As a result, I did not add any more gratuity, when I usually tip a minor of 25%. Meals were scattered for delivery to table. I timed the first meal and when the last meal was delivered. 48 minutes. Absolutely unacceptable. No room for a large vehicle on parking lot safely. Had to drop curbside, go into large parking across street and driver had to cross highway to get back to restaurant. Over half of our group of 32 had some kind of complaint. So, for our fellow large groups in a Motorcoach, that is on a time schedule, this is not a restaurant for you. I will say out of fairness, the individuals working appeared to do their best. But if you are a driver or a tour director of a large group please avoid
. . And yes we gave the restaurant several days notice.
Passing through Virginia and googling for a place to eat on a Saturday afternoon.
The building is very unassuming, like a regular residential house without a sign on it. When you stepped in it did feel like a very welcoming home.
Our server was extremely friendly and took great care of us. He could tell it’s our first time so he made sure to explain the nuance of their menu, like how their Caesar dressing is unconventional or how certain side dishes are made.
I had the skirt steak and hubby had the ribeye and they are both delicious! Both steak are marked “MP” and we didn’t ask how much beforehand, when we got the bill it’s really a good deal for the amount of food we got!
The pasta alfredo side dish is really good! You know it’s the same quality as the pasta entree. The creamed spinach is unconventional with a little breadcrumb and other seasoning, you know they put thought into each side dishes even tho the name may sound like anyone else.
Don’t think we will pass by this area again so we are very glad to find this gem while we had the chance!

Cute spot, clean, nice staff, fast service, food was good, could use a little more seasoning. Still very tasty and large portions. One thing was there was not any French salad dressing and that is all I use so that and more seasoning on the steak, everything would've been superb. There is a full bar. Very sweet place. Would go again.

Cute place with a bunny theme- briar patch. Food was excellent. We tried the black and blue burger with sweet potato fries and the Beef Tips with broccoli and smashed potatoes. Both were excellent! Good portion sizes.
We didn't have dessert, but tables on both sides of us had them. They looked so good and both tables seemed thrilled with them!

I've been twice. Moderate pricing. The stuffed mushrooms are amazing. Their sirloin is really good too. Unfortunately, their prime rib, sirloin, and scallops were unavailable this time. The prime rib and scallops were unavailable the last time over 2 weeks ago. They seem to be having sourcing issues. However, I got the crabcake today. It was good but a lot of shell, so be careful. Probably mechanically picked crabmeat. But I'll go for beef, chicken or something else next time as that is really good when available. Go. It's definitely worth a try and I will go again. Service has always been friendly.
