We are currently welcoming guests for dine-in Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 9:00. We would appreciate it if you bring your mask and wear it until seated at your table. Click the Menu tab at the top of the page to see our regular menu, as these items are also available. We have a small but nice selection of beers and wines to accompany our food.
RESERVATIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED EXCEPT FOR PARTIES OF 7 OR MORE. (Please note that We've had a problem with the very small minority of our patrons that tell us they have a party of 7 or more on busy nights, in order to reserve a table, then show up with a smaller party. We reserve the right to cancel reservations in this instance.)
PLEASE NOTE: Due to Covid, we have been doing lots of contactless carryout, and sometimes get jammed with phone orders right around 5-6 pm. Keri begins taking orders for the evening by phone when she arrives around 2-3 pm, so if you leave a message before that, expect a callback after 3. Ordering early helps the kitchen staff to plan and prepare for your order, so when you can, please order early! (you may Pick up anytime you choose between 5:00 pm and 8:30 pm.) The number to call is the restaurant's land line: (740) 594-3800. If it rings busy, we're fielding other calls or returning calls to those who have left a voicemail. Please do leave a message and we'll return your call.
The following are our specials for Wednesday November 30 through Saturday, December 3.
