Their main dining room is cozy and intimate, with only 50 seats (plus a few at the bar!). It has a European atmosphere, with rustic brick floors and wood walls covered with local artist Kevin Barton's colorful paintings. For a change of scenery, guests can enjoy dining in the wine cellar, surrounded by over 5,000 bottles of wine. In the warmer months, our charming brick courtyard is the preferred spot for our guests to enjoy a meal. Symons General Store, Inc. also offers full catering services. read more
