    The root beer pork was excellent. I am from Louisiana and that was not gumbo. That was a gravy not a roux. And because it did not have all the normal items in 1 bowl it just didn't have the right flavor. Although, my professor who is Asian really thought it was excellent.

    Our server Tory was such a delight! She went way beyond what we expected and made our experience at the restaurant a great one. My party kept telling me that this restaurant was a great choice. Kevin, the manager, went beyond also, accommodating us after my blunder on Open Table reservation app. Thanks Kevin. Tony Rangel

    This was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised. The service and both the quality and quantity of food for the price were fantastic. Service was prompt but friendly and not at all rushed. There were two of us at brunch, and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We did leave food on the plate but it was due to quantity, not quantity!

    Found this local gem online and was not disappointed. The atmosphere, food, service and libations were excellent. "Steak Night" highly recommended with a great NY Strip, superb house salad and vegetables all at a very reasonable price. Wine list is also reasonably priced with a large selection of meritage blends for the red meat. Seafood also on the menu with a fairly good selection of white wines. Desserts are made in house and also excellent. I can't recommend this restaurant enough.
