    We knew going in this was a new restaurant (3rd week), but the 10 reviews were all 5 stars and the menu looked good. Not easy to find this kind of place in/near a small town, so we tried it. Lots of kinks to work out. Server was very sweet but admitted this was a new role for her and wasn’t very attentive. Our appetizer went to table next to us who sat down after us and ordered the same thing. We finally got ours and then main course and were paid and leaving while that couple waited for their main dishes. My wife’s steak was ordered medium well and served medium rare. It and greens very salty. My pork chop was very tasty but 20% fat. The ambience was cool. The musician was very good. The owner was clearly involved (took our drink order and checked with us twice). We’re going to give it a few weeks and try again and hope it succeeds.

    Hidden Gem, very cute place in Hempstead TX, exactly what this town needed. Drinks were wonderful, food was delicious. Had a cinnamon roll for dessert and it was sinful. Can't wait to go back!!

    New restaurant with very nice decor. The manager and owner were visiting tables- very welcoming. Our food was delicious, the only negative was the portion size of the halibut, it was beautifully presented, but small. Overall, a great addition to the area, we will definitely return!
