In Monument this little place is in an old house, with a second floor and very cute outdoor patio in the summer. The best food for sure in the area, gourmet specials, soups, steaks, happy hour drink specials. One of my favorite places to eat a fancy dinner with linen table cloths and friendly wait staff who are knowledgeable about the area.
