    The service was very nice and attentive but it took close to an hour for our entrees to be served and we were the only table. No update was given as to why. Food was excellent as usual but the delay in receiving entrees was disappointing

    Our first visit was great! We enjoyed our meal very much. The homemade bread is divine! The homemade ginger salad dressing was delicious. My blackened sea bass and my husband's burger were so flavorful with unique vegetable pairings. So glad we ordered the Derby Pie, too! The owner ventured out from the kitchen to greet many patrons. We will be back!

    You will always have a wonderful. Meal here. The music is soft so you can still have conversation. Recipes are unique. The owners will come out later in the evening to greet you and ask how you liked things. Folks who live on the outskirts of town and don't consider these urban dining gems are missing out. FAN-tastic food here.

    Service was very prompt, friendly, and attentive by not only our immediate server but by multiple folks on the team. They displayed a real interest in the food and in being friendly and helpful. Always a big plus. Food is very well done. Appetizers, entrée choices, and desserts all are interesting and well prepared. The lima bean patty appetizer and fish taco appetizers were both outstanding. We were in on a Wednesday night which happened to be Half-price wine bottles (normally under$30) at least that night. Wine list was very adequate and fairly priced, as was the food. Really a neighborhood gem that deserves a fuller house. Terrific. We'll be back!

    Delightful experience. Little disappointed that, for whatever reason, dining points were not earned at this establishment.

    One of Richmond's great "hidden gems". Bruce and Virginia Rowland are masters of taste and favor.

    The food was amazing. It was a little loud and the lighting was a little low for my taste. The service was good. But the flavor of the shrimp, bratwurst and grits was so good that it made up for any of the minor negatives that we experienced. Highly recommend.
