    We arrived earlier than our reservation time but were seated almost immediately. We ordered from the brunch menu (chicken & waffles, shrimp & grits, omelette, gravy biscuit, mimosa) and everything was delicious! Our waiter, Raymond, was also attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!

    Wonderful! Made reservations for 12 people on Open Table. Let them know it was a celebration for my son’s college graduation. They have a beautiful semi private room at the front of the restaurant, windows looks right on to the street- gorgeous! They had us set up in that room, I don’t even have to request it. Waitress was lovely and attentive as was the assistant waiter and the manager visited our table several times as well. Completely exceeded our expectations. Food was hot, well prepared, creatively plated and flavorful. We will certainly be eating here again!
