    We were very excited when we got there. The service and ambiance were great but the unforch the food was so salty. I kind of choked it down because I was hungry. A but of a bummer. I would try them again and also for limited salt.

    We were excited to come here as it was high on the list of recs from friends. Our server couldn’t care less about us. She never came to check on us and dismissed all of our questions like we were inconveniencing her. The food wasn’t that great. Biscuits crumbled but the butter and jam were great. 10/10 would not recommend.

    The food took a while to come. No appetizer options. The waiter moved slowly as well. Fans for outdoor seating didn’t work well. Menu was small. It was really cute though.

    Food was pretty good but the service was VERY slow. Our waitress disappeared after taking our order, came back about 15-20 minutes later with our drinks…and we didn’t see her again for 30-40 mins. Finally, someone stopped by (the manager?) to tell us our food was coming shortly. No one ever took another drink order or inquired if there was anything we needed or to give us an update. Disappointing because the atmosphere was lovely and the food was tasty.
