    Very enjoyable lunch in the tasteful dining room after exploring Mount Vernon on a very warm summer day. Our server Alex was excellent. Varied food choices for both kids and adults. Cherry pie was delicious! Our kids only disappointment was that they do not serve ice cream. We would definitely return.

    This was a nice break after a long day exploring Mount Vernon. We had a reservation (highly recommend) but stood at the hostess stand for 15 minutes while they tried to figure out seating for a large group with no reservation. Even when they finally left with that party they never acknowledged us and I had to speak up about our reservation. Maybe they were flustered with trying to appease the larger group I'm not sure. The waitress was wonderful. Food was pretty good. I do not recommend the steak frites which was recommended to me. The steaks were tough not cooked the way I ordered and the frites were large potato wedges. It was quite noisy but I think it was mostly because of the small children we were sat close to in a small room.

    Overall a great experience. The menu was diverse, and the food was good. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Only issue was getting refills on water. I asked the waiter a few times, but it never came. It was very hot outside and water was served warm, and I was not able to get the waiter to refill our carafe.

    Turkey pie and shrimp & grits were a bit over salted but otherwise flavor was good. Biscuit in Turkey pie was very dry and almost hard. Kid’s Mac & cheese was very bland. Fries were lackluster. The kids eat free on Tuesdays offer does not include flank steak kids meal (this was not clear on the website)
