    The food was delicious. The service was very underwhelming. The staff in general was not friendly, which I had read in previous reviews from other patrons. Out waitress was less than attentive, and when it came time to pay she tossed the check and our to go box on the table and left without saying a word to us. No “thank you for coming” nothing. We even passed her on the way out and she didn’t say a word to us. It would have been a fantastic experience had the wait staff been more friendly. Otherwise, the food and drinks were great.

    This was our second time here. We will be back. The food is excellent. I had the summer salad with salmon and loved it. My husband had the pork chop and substituted grits for the mashed potatoes. He couldn’t stop talking about this dish. Happy hour is only for the bar area not the dining room, just fyi.

    The Black Manhattan cocktail was great. The menu offered great food, enjoyed the salmon and stake frites and shared burrata, but the options are limited. Service was nothing to write home about, but server was nice.
