This is a hidden gem that we just happened to find from a Google search. This restaurant and pub is Located right off of RT 119 in Ashby. A farmhouse/industrial style feel with great food and service. They offer dining settings in the main restaurant or pub as well as an outdoor area perfect for warm weather dining. The menu is simple but offers something for everyone. The atmosphere was cozy and clean. Highly recommended for a light lunch or a romantic date night. We were pleasantly surprised and will be back for seconds!

Got lost and found this place. We got the Margherita pizza, barbecue wings and kids cheeseburger, and some of the cocktail specials. The wings, drinks and pizza were really good. The whole vibe of the place was pleasant. Big chairs and tables, plenty of space to spread out. The kids selection wasn’t great, and the “cheeseburger” came on regular white bread, and a little too charred. But overall really happy with the experience. Our server was really attentive and friendly.

Very happy with our meal this evening. I had the panko fried haddock, my son had the creamy shrimp scampi, and my husband the steak tips. Started off with truffle fries too. Drinks were good. They even brewed a fresh pot of coffee for an Irish coffee. Everything was cooked well and flavorful.

This place had incredible food. The inside of the restaurant was gorgeous. The staff was very courteous and attended while your knees very quickly. My meal tasted incredible. I would definitely stop in this tavern again if you're in the area

Our family loves this restaurant & dines here regularly, but I have to share what an incredible experience we had this Mother's Day. We had a party of 18 including friends & family spanning 4 generations. My family typically hesitates to dine out on holidays due to expected crowds & wait times, but they not only accommodated such a large party, they went above & beyond surpassing our expectations. Oysters & shrimp cocktail were beyond fresh & made the day a little more special, along with the complimentary mimosa with our meal. Everyone loved their food, which came out fast, fresh & exactly as ordered...and between all of us, we had a little of everything! The flavors & quality here are truly unmatched. Our server, Alivia, was so attentive & friendly...not missing a thing. The warmth & kindness of the staff was felt by all of us & we were able to just relax & enjoy amazing food & company. If you're not coming here, you're missing out! Thank you Sean & team for making this Mother's Day a special one for our family.

Love the food, very consistent... been about 8 times.. sometimes meals come out a bit slow when busy just be patient.

We stopped in on Mother’s Day. We didn’t plan ahead, so we didn’t have reservations, but they were very accommodating. We were able to sit right away. The lemon pepper chicken wings were to die for and the crab cake benedict was outstanding. There was even a complimentary mimosa for the Moms! We may have to make this a tradition.

Excellent burger and Turkey Club the Calamari appetizer was hot and spicy. Fast service and staff easily accommodated a late arrival. Very pleasant seating in the tavern at the bar, and options with both low and high tables. Beautiful fireplace in the main dining area. Wifi is very helpful as my phone signal was not that great but moved to the other side of the table and it worked fine. Interesting shopping on the other side of the building.
