As usual, the food was excellent. My wife had the Grilled Salmon and I had the Curried Shrimp entrees and my wife had the chocolate chip cookies with a scoop of ice cream. Jenny provided us outstanding service and a great personality.

Phenomenal service! Everyone from the manager to the sever made sure we were well taken cares of. Had an allergy at our table and everyone made my guest feel confident their concerns were addressed. We will be back!

The “dirty” Cobb salad was absolutely divine. The service was very attentive and friendly. The manager Michaela (spelling is a guess here) went above and beyond, bringing a lovely treat of mini cornbread and pimento cheese to our table. Will definitely be visiting again soon. Highly recommend
