This restaurant is absolutely amazing! I took my girlfriend here for Valentine’s Day, and we were promptly seated with excellent service. We ordered the steaks for dinner with a bottle of wine, and I will say you are definitely getting what you’re paying for. I will be coming back to this place in the future!

We waited 2 hours for our food, we was about to leave and then the food came, 2 other table left. Food is very pricey. Waitress was excellent if it wasn’t for her we would have left sooner

New Year brunch - the food was just okay. The quiche was pretty good, the bacon was not cooked on one side. The shrimp and grits were okay. I think the muffins were purchased at Sams. The server was polite when she greeted us and pointed out the self-service coffee and tea. We didn’t see her again until she brought the check. I’m not saying it was bad but it wasn’t worth $35 a person. If it had been about $20 I would have thought it was fairly priced for the selection of food.
