The waiter was not attentive. I ordered a cocktail prior to my meal and the meal came before the the cocktail. I ordered another drink and it sat.

Came to this restaurant for my birthday while in town for a conference. Our waitress was phenomenal! Every food and drink recommendation was on point. The short rib was so succulent; a knife was not necessary to even cut this. The skillet cornbread and fried green tomatoes were also good. Will most definitely return to try more of the menu!
