This was our first visit and we were impressed the minute we walked in the door…friendly hostess and the sound of live jazz…on a Sunday night, no less! The cocktails were crafted perfectly! Our party of four ordered multiple appetizers and entrees…each one was a delight, both in presentation and in layers of flavor. Do yourself a favor and don’t skip the desserts. So worth every calorie! A very welcome upscale addition to the area!!!

We split the duck which was 2 duck leg quarters. Added sides of truffle mac and cheese and fried green tomatoes encrusted with a thin pimento cheese coating. Dessert was salted caramel crème brûlée. Great service!

Chyna was absolutely incredible, so very sweet and helpful and attentive. She was very good with my kids and that means a lot! She always had a smile on her face and never made us feel like we were a bother. Oh yes, the food was very yummy too ☺️the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had.

    A great experience from beginning to end! Fantasia was AMAZING! She guided us through the specials and happy hour menu and was thorough every step of the way with recommendations and answering questions! This place is truly a gem that we’re thankful to have experienced. I would recommend to anyone and everyone! Also, kudos to the chef, the steak and egg was AMAZING!….and everything else
