We went to this restaurant after a day of snowboarding and really enjoyed the vibe! They had a good selection of beers on tap, and a wide variety of food. Not too many options, which is a great thing when you're tired and hungry! We had the pork and padron pizza, hummus and flatbread, and a caesar salad, all of which were great! Halle was a great server.
