Food took a long time to arrive and everything arrived cold despite the long wait. Server didn't check in on us at all or ask us about our food or take additional drink orders. Of the 4 dishes we ordered only the avocado toast and burger were good (but with cold fries). Shrimp and grits came with unseasoned shrimp and congealed, cold grits. Fried chicken dish had one single lukewarm fried chicken breast which was dry and chewy. Left without ordering dessert or coffee since there was no one to order with and we didn't want to spend another 30 mins waiting for mediocre food. Great views but everything else is absolutely not worth the money.

Dined here for a birthday brunch and it is completely over-rated, and food was nothing to get too excited about. Left feeling hungry. Ordered macaroni and cheese as exactly listed on on kids menu and was served plain pasta with sprinkled shredded cheese. What? If you're looking for Sunday brunch destination, this fell far short.
