Really wanted to like this place that is so conveniently located to the Carolina Theatre (and much more) downtown. Got seated quickly but that was the last thing that happened quickly... despite not much of a crowd (on a Sunday evening) we waited a good 45 minutes for food. Our shared small plate for the table came out scant minutes before 3 entrees... and then we waited another 5+ minutes for the 4th entree to arrive, so the first ones were cold. Kale caesar salad + chicken... the kale leaves needed to be chopped into something close to bite size. Curly kale is unwieldy to stick in your mouth and it can't really be cut with a table knife, so the kitchen needs to prep it appropriately. These pieces were simply too large to eat. Zucchini noodles with tofu... 3 chunks of tofu over what is best described as a "dab" of zucchini noodles. Okay if it were listed as a small plate, but it was an entree. Smash bacon burger, with stale bun, was the best of the bunch... though, pet peeve, it came with zero sides included. Ditto for the brisket sandwich. Server was pleasant but never checked back with us after the food arrived. That's a fail every time. Overall, hate to complain, but there just wasn't anything redeeming about the evening. Perhaps they were short-staffed after a long weekend of Valentine's dining, but we won't be giving it another shot. It's sad when you literally have to make a stop after dinner for more food but that was our experience here.

Beautiful restaurant! Outstanding service! Crab cake appetizer was amazing! Banana pudding is a MUST as is their Black Flower stout. We will most definitely be back.

Went for brunch. Crab cake Benedict was pretty good. Being served a clearly burned chicken sandwich was disappointing. They did replace it (better), but honestly how was this served.

The service was fantastic! There were very few people there so it was quiet. I had read the other reviews and expected it to be more impressive. Also I couldn't find the menu so didn't see it ahead of time. (Kept getting a 404 error.) I felt like the menu was limited and the food was okay but not what I expected after reading the reviews.
