Food and eateries
Our favorite place to eat! Awesome cocktails and appetizers.
We often skip a dinner plate for the appetizers. The Caesar salad is great. If you get there right around 5 pm you can probably get in without a reservation. Otherwise, call ahead. Please note a vaccination card is required to eat here

Winter tips
Cars are plugged in and there is outlets all around town, ours at the carriage house is right on the corner of the house.
Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather it only takes minutes to get frost bite.

We are on a bus line, stops are close by. Not super fast.
You can use the bus line to get to Fred Meyers or the airport or the University, downtown etc. Just be aware you may need to change buses downtown and its not super convenient.

If Walking
Walking distance to Grocery about 1.5 miles on airport turn left and walk until you hit Safeway or Fred's. Dog park is just across airport down to the Carlson center and to the right. 1 mile
Walk to downtown is a bit further but can be done, a very nice travel along the river is a few miles long.
