Starting with Alec, our perfect waitress. She was engaging and helpful with guiding us through the menu. From the starters, cornbread and Porkbelly to our main course of Flat Iron Steak and Duck through our pear-chocolate dessert, the meal was exceptional. Will return for date night again as well as with friends.

The new menu has some wonderful options. It was tough making a decision on what to order because I could have easily ordered several different dishes. I settled on the Bronzed Red Drum fish which was excellent! & cooked to perfection.
