Beautiful place in a very quaint and clean stop off of the highway. It's a small husband and wife restaurant. They only have one or two dishes that change. We asked for a local red and it did not disappoint. The food was very fresh and full of flavor. This is a wonderful choice if in the area. You won't regret it!
