    Overall this was a good experience. The service was exceptional and the mains and fried green tomatoes were excellent .. but the collard greens and slaw were average. The hotel bathrooms had cabinet doors falling off and overall looked run down.

    Per another review we also didn’t like the placemats. I think the restaurant could replace them with white table clothes. Our server was not engaged at all in our dining experience, he was slow careless and non chalant. We are a chalant family and we were hoping for more energy. However, The food was fabulous, the oysters were the best that we’ve had in ages.

    We had a lovely lunch as always. Our server I believe his name is John is the person we have usually and he does an excellent job. Very efficient and attentive. The hostess was marvelous and also very upbeat and helpful in getting us to the right table that we requested. It was a very pleasant wonderful experience. On a separate note we would also like to thank you for removing the fee for parking. We always tip generously and we’re surprised on this visit to hear that you removed the fee. Thank you.

    Our wait staff Gina was absolutely amazing!!! We were there to celebrate my mother in law who had just passed away, we reserved a 4 top and there were 3 of us. When Gina asked about the fourth seat, we explained why we were there and what we were celebrating. The life of a beautiful woman gone too soon. She was so empathetic and incredibly kind. We had one of the most perfect experiences, the food was amazing and we got to share great times and stories. The ambiance, seating, food and drinks made our night incredible. A true night to remember for our family and Gina made it possible. We will be back soon only if Gina is working!!!! Thank you Gina, you are truly amazing. Thank you from the Sweeney Family.

    Celebrated a special friend’s birthday and the waitstaff did not disappoint. They acknowledged the celebration and service was 10/10. Food was hot and delicious . Celebration dessert was very good. We’re not rushed and got to enjoy our wine and conversation!
