    Kimberlee was fantastic! Perfect blend of insight on the menu and not being too much of an interruption at our table. Roasted oysters, crab cakes, pork tomahawk with green beans and mashed potatoes were outstanding. Mac n cheese was dry but the bourbon butter cake more than made up for it!

    Gorgeous day to sit outside, where it’s less noisy than sitting indoors. Came for a Sunday brunch with a small group of friends, and food was delicious as always! We share the dips appetizer, and the server offered extra pita for our party of 5 ladies, and it was perfect! I always get the grilled octopus salad (it’s my favorite), but the other ladies got the salmon Benedict, avocado toast, a salad with feta, and one other dish I cannot remember. Everything was great, server was attentive without being overbearing. He was very knowledgeable for our 1 friend’s first dining experience there. The bees were swarming our table towards the end for some reason, but someone else came by our table to check on us and gave us an extensive talk about the bees—one of our friends even provided a beekeeper recommendation. Prices for our meal align with what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber ; however, the pastry prices seem high for the small pieces provided. Overall a lovely experience! Will definitely be back!
