    We always enjoy dining at Baldanza at the Schoolhouse. The food is excellent and the staff are all wonderful. It's small so it can get noisy, but it's still a relaxing experience.

    The drinks were very nice but the martini glasses were on the small side. The food was very good and the service and staff were excellent. The noise level was fine with soft background music until about an hour into our dinner, when a private party started up and I believe there was a DJ. The music overpowered and conflicted with the dining room music. Luckily we were close to finishing our dinner. I want to note that I had a recently expired gift certificate that I hadn’t known expired last month, and the owner, Clark, very graciously agreed to honor it. As seniors who got that gift certificate from our son last Christmas, that gracious accommodation was especially appreciated!

    We were in town for a wedding and also celebrating our wedding anniversary as well. We wanted to have a nice dinner and didn’t know the area so I searched for best restaurants in the area. Came upon The Library Wine Bar & Bistro and decided to reserve a table. What a nice restaurant and a great evening. Johnny was our waiter and asked us if we had ever dined there. Said we didn’t and just mentioned that we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. He congratulated us, took our drink order and when he can back with our drinks, to our surprise had a couple of glasses of champagne ( on the house ). The food and service was phenomenal and will definitely go back if in the area again.
