    Our waitress was outstanding. Food was good, but didn’t like that they changed up how they served our potatoes this time. They usually serve them in their own bowl on the side, but they put them directly on the hot plate with our steak this time. Overall, however, a great visit!

    Mini Loster Rolls with Caviar paired with a flute of Prosecco= Perfection. The venue- stunning. The most beautiful, outdoors indoors lunch experience in the Triangle. Expensive, yes. But worth the money if you’re in need of a high quality elegant lunch experience.

    As always, the service that staff provide is above and beyond. I love to bring colleagues from abroad to experience this high quality, upscale spin on southern food. It really sets a high bar! Of course, we came in like a storm and too many people followed us from the office, and the staff (especially Olivia W) handled it with grace, kindness, and humor. The food is ALWAYS amazing. The presentation of the plates, the quality of ingredients, and the environment just make for an overall wonderful experience. I cannot recommend enough!
