"We live locally and go to Poppy regularly - it's our favorite place to take friends visiting for a weekend. We always have a wonderful experience there. The food is delicious - locally sourced, well prepared and beautifully served. The menu is on the smaller side, but we always find many things to enjoy. The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is festive yet calm and not too noisy. A true local treasure."
