When choosing this location in 2005, we instantly fell in love with the charm and history that the building offered. Walking up the front steps you hear the creak of the original floor boards, and as you enter through the large Colonial doors you may find yourself twisting the old fashioned hand crank doorbell. Every detail of the building is historical, and every picture hanging on the wall gives you a glimpse of what life was like in the 1800’s.Along with our passion for keeping history alive, we also have an even greater passion for food. We only use the finest and freshest seasonal ingredients when crafting our dishes. Not only are we preserving the history of Liberty Corner, we are becoming part of the history too.Voted one of the Top 100 Al Fresco Dining Restaurants in the Country by OpenTable in 2015. Offering four separate dining rooms, you are sure to enjoy the atmosphere, along with your delicious meal. We look forward to being with you soon. We are a BYOB establishment.

    The tender braised beef w/ asparagus and salmon w/ lentils & vegetable dinners were cooked to perfection, as were the fried calimari. Service was very good! Server was familiar w/ menu items and quite energetic. Multiple staff members checked in on table at opportune times. Overall a great dinner and server experience.

    Wait staff was incredibly attentive. We sat inside surrounded by windows, which was lovely. Lobster bisque was fantastic with microgreens to give it an extra something. Tuna Poke Bowl was generous and fresh. Hugo spritz highly recommended - refreshing summertime drink with cucumber, elderflower liqueur and prosecco. The fresh baked bread was flavorful and a great accompaniment to my bisque. My dining companion had the beet salad on crusty bread - beautiful presentation. I had a decaf cappuccino that could have used more cinnamon. Complimentary glass of Cava because we were celebrating my friend’s birthday. All in all a wonderful experience.
