    Was seated, order taken, food and drinks arrived promptly, then it all went a little downhill, was checked on once and then abandoned for the whole remaining of the visit until I asked the bartender if we had to pay with him or what, mind you we were not seated at the bar. But the food was great, it made up for it and the place is really nice.

    The waiter was exceptional. Provide great customer service and was very attentive. It was a nice day so some patrons were enjoying the weather and water view on the outside patio. The restaurant is very inviting and the staff warm and accommodating.

    The food was delicious but the service was not. Our server was not at all engaging nor friendly. She seemed like she was unhappy to be working on a Sunday and didn't even thank us for coming in. For the $550 we spent on dinner, I expected a higher level of service which we did not receive. Additionally, we were celebrating an anniversary and it was never acknowledged by anyone the entire time we were there. The server was slow to say the least and we had to ask her about specials before ordering dinner. She never smiled and was not the least bit engaging to our party. While the restaurant is very nice and food is good, the staff needs some training on customer service. For the amount of money we pay for food and the experience, we were left a bit underwhelmed. I'm not sure I would recommend this restaurant to others. This was our third visit in 7 months.

    Dropped in after a tasting and tour at the distillery next door. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. Highly recommend the fried green tomato appetizer and the bread pudding!

    We came in for a friends birthday dinner and it was the perfect place for a girls night! Everything from the ambience, to the service, to the food was amazing. We shared a lot of food but the highlights were definitely the crab dip, twin filets (but with the dijon-shallot sauce, recommended by our server), and the BREAD PUDDING is a must!!
