    Wonderful service. Food was great. Loved sitting outdoors on a warm Saturday evening…especially since we had travelled from the cold northeast!

    Our dinners were great, but the noise level made so we couldn’t easily converse with our friends.

    During our recent dining experience, we were pleased with the overall quality of the restaurant. My husband opted for the grilled chicken, while I chose the shrimp and grits. Both dishes were executed with skill and flavor, showcasing the kitchen's dedication to quality ingredients and preparation. Our waitress was exceptionally kind and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. When I requested the removal of ham from my shrimp and grits, she handled the request graciously and efficiently, making certain that my dish was prepared exactly to my liking. However, despite the commendable food and service, we faced a significant discomfort due to our seating location. Positioned in a remote corner of the restaurant, we found ourselves uncomfortably warm. Although the doors were open, we were unable to find relief from the heat, which detracted from our overall enjoyment of the meal. This unfortunate circumstance left us distracted and sweating, impacting our ability to fully appreciate the exquisite flavors of our dishes. While the culinary experience was largely positive, it would be beneficial for the restaurant to address the temperature control in certain areas to ensure diners can enjoy their meals comfortably in the future.
