I met a friend for happy hour. 3 pm but we were given a brunch menu? Not really what we had in mind but we both picked the steak salad. It was really tasty and well done steak. The waitress must have been busy because we didn’t see her at all until we finished. No refills of water. It was a bit pricey for 2 salads and a three glass wine tasting for one and an ice tea for the other. $90

Really great restaurant, we now have so many favorite dishes here! If you think you don't like vegetables, you have to come try Mayfield - it is amazing what they can do with carrots or cabbage or sweet potatoes! And their fried chicken is the best!

Great local restaurant, with great selection of food items! Their drinks are outstanding! Very energetic inside around the bar. Outside patio seating is spread out better. There is live music, which is very nice, but don't get a table near the performer - - the speaker is too loud to hold a conversation.
