I walked in this place and got seated immediately, ordered a drink and salad receiving both within 3 minutes, I decided to try the beast burger medium rare and it couldn’t have been cooked any better, this is the best I’ve had personally, great service, great food quality, and a casual fine dining atmosphere, 10/10 would recommend

Great dining experience, in a great establishment. Without an overwhelming menu, there are great options available. From Seafood, Steak, and Pasta. There is even a wine menu. We visited on a Friday evening with a party of 12, all co-workers, we were seated quickly when we arrived. I had a salad prior to my meal, one of the best salads I had. The meals were prepared and came out in a decent time. I seriously can't find one bad point about this place. I'm glad I visited.

Upscale dining with some great dishes. Would recommend a reservation if you have more than 4 in your group. Our server was very nice and attentive. She made good recommendations and asked our opinion of the dishes/drinks. The mushroom soup is very good. The portion sizes are large, so lunch for the next day. If it is crowded, it can be quite loud. It was hard to talk to our table.

First time here. We sat outside on covered patio and ordered brunch. Alot of great choices! Hubby had Filet Eggs Benedict, it had nice size portion of steak and he loved it! I had California Omelet, lots of avocado on top and a side of cheesy grits! Very good too. Nice brunch drink choices including a brandy coffee which was great!!

Our server didn't tell us about the seasonal menu. We overheard another server. Our food didn't come out very warm. Bread pudding was served cold as well. Bread and butter and beef carpaccio were delicious

Celebrating a birthday, I decided now would be the perfect time to check out this establishment. No wait for seating on a Friday afternoon. Service was pleasant and prompt. The menu is the perfect size, not too small or overwhelmingly huge. The atmosphere and ambience is perfect for most occasions. The house salad wasn't what I expected at all, definitely flavorful. Definitely recommend this place, it will not disappoint.

Very attentive server, food was served promptly and prepared exactly as requested. Haven't been there for a long time and was impressed with how busy it was for a Wednesday. Food was delicious and the folks I was with had not been there before and they were also impressed.

I went there yesterday with a group of 19 people for a birthday, our server TJ.H was so amazing! I don't know how he managed to take all of our orders so fast and serve the food so fast as well! He was so kind, nice and available! That was one of the best customer service I've ever seen! Thank you TJ.H, you're the best! All 19 of us appreciate you🫶 and oh the food was great too! Very well cooked.
