    A great evening to celebrate a birthday and feel special. The service was excellent, the food was tasty and the decor is perfect. Only negative is the ridiculous 3% charge for using a credit card. That is just so maddening. Unlikely we will go back to those restaurants that do that.

    Nice place but the restaurant was fairly empty and they placed a party of 7-8 people right next to the two of us. Like why? We felt like we couldn’t talk and the other table was right on top of us. Food and service was great.

    Food and service was previously great. The older hostess is both actively rude and takes forever to seat anyone even when the restaurant is half empty

    We came for brunch, which was delicious all around. The Shrimp + Grits was praised all around, as was the Eggs Benedict. We got a side of thick cut bacon, which seemed pricy at $10. However, true to the name, the bacon were large *thick* cut slices. Worth it for brunch!
