Delicious brunch to celebrate our daughter’s birthday! We enjoyed everything: hush puppies appetizer, egg white omelette, 3 meat omelette, avocado toast, bacon, egg and cheese croissant. Potatoes and grits were excellent too. I don’t think there’s a wrong choice on the menu. Attentive service and lovely ambience. Will be back!

Once again, an excellent evening! The food is awesome! Tonight was the halibut - perfectly cooked! Also making a showing at our table - the lamb Bolognese and the sausage pizza. The pizza crust is sheer perfection. I could eat it with nothing on it! The lamb dish was excellent also. Yes, I had to have a bite of everything! Nathaniel was a good server. And by the way- have to give a shout out to Rashad - who knows how to connect with his customers to make them feel valued.
