    Can’t say enough good things about this place! The food was delicious. The waitress was great; very friendly and genuine. We were immediately acknowledged upon arrival. Our reservation was at 7:45 and were seated a few minutes before our reservation. Our anniversary was immediately acknowledged by the manager and we were given a free dessert. The peanut butter pie was amazing! We will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful anniversary dinner!

    As a server myself just would have liked if the server checked in more, wanted dessert but didn’t have time to wait to see the menu/order. Other than that food was amazing drinks were delicious so overall a good experience! shrimp and grits 10/10 a crusted trout that was amazing (can’t remember the name)

    We enjoyed the generous serving of pimento cheese and chips appetizer. My husband had the crab cakes and substituted risotto for French fries. The consistency of the risotto was more like grits which was disappointing but he enjoyed the crab cakes. I had the mango salsa salmon. Would have appreciated a more flavorful salsa. The salmon was cooked just the way I like as were the grilled asparagus. Our server was very congenial and checked in on us periodically. Limited wine choices by the glass.
