We were on the porch on a very cold day in Hendersonville. It was nice and toasty and the service was excellent. Food was outstanding. We got our garlic knots straight from the oven. OMG is all I can say. The entire meal from start to finish was delightful. We will be back. Again and again. And we live an hour away. Gladly make the drive for this restaurant.

The Key Lime Pie with Honey drizzled on top is superb! Husband had the salmon and said it was outstanding. The outside seating was perfect, much easier to talk and hear the people at your table than inside. Waitress was very nice and personable. Always enjoy receiving Gin Gins as the after dinner "mint".

We starter with the spread sampler. They were out of their very popular bread so we had pita's with it. The home made hummus was delicious! We then had the mushroom pasta with truffle butter and added sausage. Also, got a greek pizza. Everything was amazing! Prices were reasonable, we will be going back!

Good pizza great crust, it was a little noisy and the servers kept hitting my chair while walking by. I had the margarita with a balsamic drizzle and it was delicious. Partner had the potato pizza, which was interesting but felt lacking on the sweet vidalia. We would have really liked to try the sweet chili on hawaiian, so maybe we will come back when they have it.

We arrived a bit early but were seated immediately. Server was prompt in collecting drink order, then dinner order as she delivered drinks. One of us ordered side salad with entree, but it never came (was taken off bill). Dinner salad with shrimp was fine, but grilled chicken only adequate.

All of our meals were very good as was the service. We sat outside at the recommendation of the host. He said it was warmer than inside. It was until we sat down. The chairs were very cold and so were our feet. We never did get warm.
