    As soon we got there, we got the table but the server was slow to get the menu for us. We asked for the refills for water but they never come back. But other than that everything was good.

    We come often when we’re in town and the service is always excellent. Many of the public facing staff have been there for years, if not decades. The brunch is solid and fairly priced for the market. The coffee and champagne were excellent. The seafood omelette was more than my wife could eat. The fried catfish meal changed: it now just comes with a large pile of fries rather than poached eggs and home fries. Still good but I preferred the previous version.

    Just wanted to commend the waiter for our table on Valentine's Day. My wife has seafood allergies, and the waiter ensured that he instructed her of food that were not entangled with seafood per her allergies. Excellent service and always checked on us regularly. Great service by our waiter named Jimmy.

    I started with the seasonal salad, with crispy shallots on top, added both crunchy texture and a delicious accent. Accompanied by the cast iron cornbread with herbed butter, well an explosion of flavor that I savored!

    This was an Amazing experience!! It started snowing today - didn’t know for sure how much would stick. It turned out to be 4 inches. ;) We had a reservation and were the only guests. They stayed open for us and were so gracious! No one hurried us, in fact they took time to chat about several things. Even though they were closing as soon as we left! The food was very delicious - all the things we ordered. We live 2 blocks away and will share this with many people for exceptional service and food! 💞
