We stayed only one night as we were closing on our new house. The staff were very friendly and the bartender Matt took care of us at happy hour. We walked next door to Cody’s and had a good dinner. Unfortunately we were too tired to go listen to the band playing on the square - we heard they were very good. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to our friends.
