Was there for lunch with work colleagues. Server was pleasant and efficient. Food was excellent and not a long wait for the four of us. It was a little noisy on the day we went (12-1pm) which could be expected at that time but it was a little hard to hear each other & we were at a normal sized table.

Went before a show at the Anonoff which was just a quick walk away. Have a great wine list and cocktails. We had the oysters to start which were great and then split the Bronzino which was amazing. Will be back for sure

The grazing board was divine. Really good pimento cheese spread and fresh meats. The salad is enormous so plan accordingly. The Amish chicken was very good. Broccolini was scrumptious. Mashed potatoes were full of flavor. Cocktail menu could use some non whisky options. My husband had an old fashioned which he enjoyed but felt it was a bit overpriced. Our service was great!

Delicious and great atmosphere. Came here on a whim and enjoyed everything. I had the spinach & artichoke dip which was delicious, and the beignets were better than I expected! Just came in overnight and would absolutely go again next time I’m in town.
