Great small restaurant and bar with good selection ofbwines and cocktails. They have 'small plates', early bird dining, and a nice variety of menu items, including steaks, fish, southern dishes such as meatloaf, and more. It is close by, in Main Street Shopping Center, and can be a little tricky to find, but worth it!
