### tash — 4.9/5 · Nov 18, 2023
During the day, most patrons dine inside, but we ate out on the huge patio and were able to spread out and really enjoy ourselves. They even provide water dishes and fresh water for dogs! The food was far beyond glorified bar food. And they really killed it with the homemade cherry coke! 🍒
