A menu that pays homage to Postbellum era cooking methods and recipes modernized and prepared with fresh and local ingredients. Dining accommodations are available for large groups.

Join us for brunch on weekends, or for dinner until 10pm. Open late every night with a late night menu until 1am. Craft cocktails, wine (draft wine and full bottle selection), and 26 craft beers on draft.
Stop by our supply room to find a craft beer or wine to take home after joining us for dinner.

I love sitting on the 1st floor porch-noise level is low so we can hear each other. Service was great, food divine. A good portion so you felt full after eating, without feeling stuffed. My only suggestion is to put a “watch your step” sign on the way back in.

Food was good but service was VERY slow. Sat there 15 minutes before a server came (after we asked hostess to get a server for us). Sat another 15 minutes before we received our drinks. Very frustrating.

Not as fancy as originally thought but food was excellent and service was friendly. It was a bit noisy as it is in Fan District near VCU so ceilings were higher but a great place for casual dinner.

We went, as a party of 7 for Mother's Day. Our server was friendly, although service was a bit slow (due to a busy holiday?). The food was very good and was a good value.
