    Website needs to indicate you may sit outside. Drove about an hour to find out your reservation only guarantees a table, not necessarily a table inside the restaurant. That is fine for the cooler months, but not in the summer. At first they were basically telling us we were out of luck, but a server agreed it was too hot and helped secure an inside table. She was very good and helped redeem our evening. We enjoyed the food & the service. Just think they should be more clear when you are making a reservation so people can decide if they are willing to sit outside on a hot summer day.

    Trying to understand why we were rushed through dinner; had just started our salads and then entree is served; the steak was not medium rare, cooked all the way through. Also potatoes were to large, should be thinly sliced for bottom of plate.

    First time and Dinner was outstanding! Fried green tomatoes and side Cobb salad were excellent. The shrimp and grits were OUTSTANDING - the Tasso ham added the right amount of saltiness and the grits are delicious and creamy. Mason gave incredible service! We will definitely be back.

    Next time, if there is one, I will just order the crab cake bites and a house salad instead of ordering a dismal dish of disappointment. The scallops with risotto was very salty and like $40, my husband’s chicken pasta came out with visibly undercooked chicken which the server noticed and took back from whence it came only to return with some dried up looking sauce-deprived pasta that looked like it had been fried under the light for some time, my friend’s steak was not cooked to her specifications and ended up going in my trashcan at home.
