    We haven’t eaten here twice in 3 days and thoroughly enjoyed it on both occasions. The menu is short but has a good choice of dishes. I highly recommend the harvest salad and the steelhead trout and pork chop. The wine list is also short but very well priced and a good selection. Atlas of wine is $7 and a bottle $30

    We met my daughter at Gibson’s for dinner Friday night (8:00pm)not knowing the restaurant/bar has Karaoke downstairs Fri and. Saturday nights. We got such a kick out of that ; it was quite entertaining- laughter is infectious!! But even more important was the waiter who was funny and charming, and the food was excellent- the best pork chop I ever had!! I would definitely go back there if in the area again.
