Dining together allows us to better understand who we are, regardless of our social status. The food does not have to be elegant, complicated, or fancy. We find that busy people like simple food—the busier they are, the simpler the food. Our menu is straightforward, down-home Southern food with a few more contemporary dishes.Getting back to the table allows us to love and nurture each other and renew connections to our families—however they may be configured—in this diverse and ever-changing society. Such connections are crucial in a fast-paced world where we feel more disconnected every day. One of the best ways we know how to restore that daily balance is to sit down at our table.We should all think about returning to the sanctity of the table, where we can rebuild our families whether they be given or chosen, and reconnect with those we love and choose to love. Our table is a familiar, uncomplicated, friendly place where we can celebrate.

Amazing pizza! The weather was beautiful and we sat outside and enjoyed the river view. The service was excellent and Robert even came to our table to check how everything was. Definitely a place I would visit again.

Lunch Special: Salmon was well prepared with lovely sauce over a bed of sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. Fried chicken and mashed potatoes was also a hit. Chicken moist with flavorful breading. Potatoes were creamy and delicious. Choose Chef Art’s half salad for both. Always a favorite. Our server, Leslie, is a gem. Knowledgeable about menu, efficient, hospitable, attentive without hovering.

The food was delicious, generous portions. The restaurant was extremely loud. Louder than any establishment I’ve ever been to by far, but that’s alright. We will definitely be back next year!
