Perfection. A custom cocktail for someone that wasn’t sure what she wanted. She loved it. Every single dish was cooked to perfection. We shared a few dishes and each ordered entrees. Everything was perfect. A bit of sherry after the meal. And Mom’s desserts will always be the best. A family favorite.

First time here…was the Thanksgiving Day meal. So, not a conventional situation. But every thing was great. Felt a little bit like we were rushed but, it was Thanksgiving—got to turn over those tables! Would definitely return to try their usual menu.

We did Sunday Brunch before a Panther’s game. Very nice selection of drinks, mocktails, and brunch items. I got the Lomo Saltido (SP?). Added the egg for $2 more. So much flavor and a slow heat build up as I ate. My wife got the avocado toast. The poached egg great and the balsamic drizzle on toast was a fantastic addition. My daughter got the pancakes. Wow. So fluffy and the black berries and blue berries were so good.
