This is the most unsuspectingly awesome restaurant I've found to date. After reading glowing Yelp reviews, we decided to head over on a rainy Tuesday for dinner after a long day of traveling. Parking is on the street, with plenty of spaces around, but 2 conveniently right out front. Meters stop after 5 (small town beauty). It's a quiet and quaint restaurant, but plenty of room for bigger parties. Decor had more effort than I expected, considering the outside doesn't really have much curb appeal.
Waitress was great: polite, quick, gave good suggestions. The time between appetizers, dinners and dessert was a good pace. No dawdling, but we didn't ever feel like we were being pushed out the door.
The menu is a one-page new American, with options for everyone. We ended up going for the Crab in the Cage appetizer for one entree based on suggestion. This dish is creative and tasty: friend noodles incasing what's essentially crab-cake meatballs over a light mustard sauce. I've been to restaurants up and down Maryland, home of the blue crab, and I have never seen a take on the standard crab cake as playful and new as this one.
I went with the Steak over potatoes and chorizo (the exact description is alluding me). I asked for Medium Rare, and that's what I got! Presentation was nice, and it was a filling meal. Comes with house salad or soup, and I chose the soup which was Italian Sausage and Lentil. Tasty and comforting on a dreary day.
This meal was easily one our favorites we've ever had, and I really never expected it from such a tucked-away restaurant in West Virginia. Bonus Points for a staff member turning on light jazz JUST as I was thinking it was a little too quiet. Definitely helped the vibe!
