    I went for brunch with a friend. I had the Southern Eggs Benedict. Loved the flavor and creativity with the Creole Hollandaise sauce. My friend had the Vegetarian Benedict and she loved the freshness with the avocado

    Nice location very friendly service. It took a very long time to get anything. Wine took 20 minutes. Apps seemed ok. Dessert took a while to order and a long while to arrive. The dessert overall was disappointing. Entrees were very creative and visually appealing. Ok ambiance because it wasn’t super clean. I am glad we went but probably won’t visit again due to slow service.

    We were sat without silverware. Food came and no silverware. We asked the runner for silverware and he brought forks only. Had to flag down a different server and ask for silverware. Our server Jen didn’t come back until we were completely finished with brunch. We told her we didn’t have silverware and she said at least we have it now. She also made reference to us that she remembered us when my date clearly stated that she had never been there before. An embarrassing moment for me. I’ve been several times and love the food. She made it a bad date for me.

    Menu has been distilled since the last time I visited. Had the chicken fried pork chop. The fried portion was soggy and didn't have much flavor, whereas the mashed potatoes it came with were a bit too salty. Drinks were great.
