    I am a frequent brunch diner. Everything is always fantastic. Pork belly benedict is always my go to, with cheesy grits of course. Deviled eggs are amazing. If you havent enjoyed the brunch here, you definitely need to! Not to say that Lunch and Dinner isnt also amazing, because it very much is.

    My wife and I celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary and I secretly ordered flowers to be brought to the restaurant. Our table was reserved for 6:45 PM but the flowers arrived at 5PM and the restaurant received then, took care of them and placed them in our table in a timely manner. The food was excellent. We had Rockefeller oysters, flounder, and red snapper and every single dish was delicious. The ambiance almost perfect, a little noise for us. The location of the restaurant is very good also. Close to flower shops, and a roundabout beautifully adorned with Christmas lights.

    Loved our visit and happy hour! We made plans for our next visit before we left. Everyone working there was super friendly with spot on service. The appetizers we tried were very good, especially the fried green tomatoes. We look forward to exploring more of the menu.
