    First-time visitor. Cocktails were outstanding. The mixologist knows what he is doing, for sure. Food was very good and well-priced for State College. Will absolutely visit again.

    Super cute, a bit pricey but food was very good. Our server could use a few pointers on customer service we felt very much ignored. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubts Maybe she was new. We don’t expect to be fallen all over but when we did see her she would just drop something off (food, check) and say nothing just walk away it was a bit bazar. Would we go back yes we would.

    Fantastic meal and service. The low country boil had fantastic shrimp, mussels, and corn. The meal was piping hot. Our she crab soup was delicious with a hint of spice. Cocktails were great. The passion fruit spritzer was delicious. Try a grasshopper ( cocktail ) for Dessert.

    Anyone who is vegetarian or vegan or has any dietary restrictions? Should definitely tell your server… They put chicken stock in most things. They cook such as the wild rice which makes it unavailable for vegans and vegetarians, as well as the collard greens which are marked vegetarian, however, contain chicken stock that they're cooked in… A vegan/vegetarian will have a very hard time finding something to eat here

    Everything great... food, service and cost, EXCEPT the music was very loud and the choice of music was more appropriate for a late night party than a relaxing dinner.

    Ambiance was great, so was service which was prompt. Shrimp & grits was ok. The shrimp didn’t have much flavor. It would have been better if slow cooked at low temperature. My wife has the French onion soup which was just passable. One of my sons had the fried chicken which again was just ok. Now for what was good- pulled pork sandwich and steak. Both on point as per my kids. I tasted a bit of the steak. I agree, it was good.
