    The food was a little bland and not as tasty as previous trips to Farrelly’s. I got the shrimp and grits and it seemed under seasoned.

    Our waiter was awful. Never asked us if we wanted anything from the bar after he brought us water. Never made suggestions about the menu. We heard other wait staff engaging other diners, we got none of that. After we received our items we were 3/4 done when he came to make sure everything was okay. The paneed chicken was swimming in lemon juice. The salmon was okay, not great. At this point we just wanted to leave. I believe our waiter was Charles & he looked kinda like Al Roker. Can’t say we will be back. Wanted to love it. The interior is beautiful. So much potential.

    The food portions are super small. The meals aren’t super expensive, but still not worth the price. The ambiance is nice and the waiter was attentive. Would probably return for a drink at the bar, but that’s about it.

    Our party of 7 was greeted by friendly staff, seated at a cozy table ready for us at the time of our reservation, and began our meal with coffee and mimosas. The food came out in a reasonable time and was delicious as the presentation looked. This was our first experience here but will NOT be our last!

We eat here a good bit and have never had any issues. 100% recommend for any occasion - happy hour has perfect snacks and brunch is so much fun with the jazz music! Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

    The food was delicious but you all were out of everything from collard greens to liquor syrup flavors and etc. One of the waiters said a truck didn’t come in on Friday so it was a little bit of an inconvenience and disadvantage for me and we had two different parties there last night.

    Valentine’s day and they overbooked. The hostess was giving serious attitude. We waited for a couple of hours to be seated even with a confirmed reservation. Several menu items were unavailable by the time we were seated. I don’t think we will return…. One positive, the duet that was playing music in the bar was really good.

    My husband and I made a reservation to come here on Valentine’s Day. Our reservation was at 8:15 p.m. Even with it being the holiday, you can expect some rush and it being busy. This was beyond being busy. I think they may have been short staffed and overbooked with reservations. My husband and I didn’t get seated until an hour later (even though we had reservations). I was really turned off by this since this Valentine’s Day was so special to my husband and I and this place came highly recommended to us so it was our first time here. Our waitress was nice. She brought us two waters to start out with. I ordered a drink but had to send it back because it had purple lipstick on the rim of the glass. The food was good, but unfortunately not good enough to make up for the extreme wait. The Valentine’s Day menu has a 4 course meal and it took almost 30 minutes for them to bring the second course. The table next to us never even got their first course meal. My husband and I will likely never be going back to this restaurant.

    The Creamy Gouda Tomato Bisque came without the croutons, when we asked about it the server said very rude „we out of it“ our waitress apologized and brought some bread instead. We waited a long time for the second course, which never came. Suddenly the third course showed up, the Rib Eye was supposed to be done medium, it was more the well done and even burned on one side. They made good by not charging for the food.

    It was Valentines Day, we had a reservation for the evening. We arrive and end up waiting nearly 45 mins to be seated. Come to find out there are only serving a limited menu and have gotten behind on orders. The food i ordered was good but because of the lack of preparation for such an event; i wasn’t pleased with the overall experience. They need to better plan for a limited menu and the pressure of meeting the expectations of customers. Plus we had no idea it was a limited menu that day; it would’ve been nice to know that when i booked my reservation back in January

    Will try again however the 7pm reservation meant we were seated at 7:55 pm with front of house full of patrons waiting to be seated. There should not be a reservation requirement if it means it cannot be reasonably honored.

    Went here for Valentine's Day and they did not disappoint. Chef had prepared an amazing 4 course dinner and special drinks just for the occasion. I started with Creamy Gouda Tomato Bisque, second course Spinach Ricotta Agnolotti (if you like spinach this is to die for), third course 16oz Grilled Peppered Ribeye (cooked perfect) with a loaded Hassle back potato. We ended the night with the fourth course Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake cup. The drinks were great (I don't remember what they were called but we tried three, so tasty) and I had their House Pinot Noir and it wasn't half bad. The server was super friendly just a wonderful experience. It was all really over the top great. This was our second visit and I told my wife we have got to start going by there more.
