The waiter missed the mark. No utensils on the table, asked for hot water, paper, napkins, and extra sauce never received those items. The food was good.

Our third time dining there and was a good experience, a little slow on service but I’m sure due to holiday staffing, but the available staff really worked together. The deviled eggs were delicious and I enjoyed the shrimp & grits with a fried egg on top.
