Teri our server was extremely knowledgeable about the items we ordered. Teri was very nice and a pleasure to have her as our server. The food was excellent and we got to meet the pastry chef as the desserts was exceptional! The Black Forest cake and the chocolate cake were amazingly delicious!!!

Our server, Randy, made the dinner experience exceptional. Attentive and friendly throughout. Tuna tartare was good enough to make the trip back for alone. Grouper was great, sauce made the dish. Wines were perfect and dessert was delicious. Atmosphere is always a nice treat, modern and interesting to watch clientele. Really like the that owners and partner make to rounds to add a personal note. Maybe just a tad cool on a hot day, but better than being outside.

The black-eyed pea hummus and the lasagna are outstanding! The seasonal fried green tomatoes were a delightful treat as well. Portions are large so you need to be hungry.

The food was good, but the service was below average. We had to flag down our server and get the attention of another server to try and get service. And then our server got an attitude when he realized we weren’t satisfied with how he was taking care of us.
