    We had a wonderful meal. We split the goat cheese appetizer that comes with the most delicious bread! The burger and smoked Gouda Mac and cheese was wonderful as well. We topped it off with the peanut butter pie! Soo good!

    The food was delicious and our server was very nice. They were busier than anticipated, so it took some time to get drinks. Otherwise, it was a wonderful dinner. We will definitely be back.

    The food and drinks were excellent. We had the brunch style ham and cheese, the fried crab Benedict, an Irish old fashioned, and a mango mimosa. All were delicious. Unfortunately, we waited 15 minutes at our booth without acknowledgment from our server who walked past our booth numerous times. We eventually had to ask the hostess for service. After about 20 minutes from the time we were say, we were finally greeted and given water.
