My second time dining here. The restaurant is in a renovated old house, with downstairs dining and bar, upstairs dining, and outdoor dining area and bar. The offerings include some different and interesting ones. I really enjoyed the mushroom and ricotta flatbread, and my Osso Buco was perfectly prepared, and delicious. My dining companion gave thumbs up to his meal, and we both agreed that the rum old fashioneds were really excellent. This is an "upscale" experience, but the prices are reasonable considering the quality, service, and ambience. And one can order just a "small bite," or several for a table. The staff is very friendly, and attentive but not intrusive.

Last minute find in Ormond. Awesome Victorian home, nicely appointed as a quaint restaurant, well located. Menu of appropriate southern style cuisine with a fine dining flare. Fried chicken was to die for. Service was impeccable. This is a definite repeat when in the area, or even if you can drive a bit.

The menu cost for my sandwich was not commensurate with what was served, which was a speciality salad. The greens consisted of iceberg lettuce which was wilted and brown on the tops. Requested extra bleu cheese and barely any to be found. The grilled chicken was very good and about the only part of the salad I ate. But, to pay $18 for a small grilled piece of chicken was ridiculous. The rest of my party complained of same or similar issues. This was probably my 10th visit. Sadly, I will not be returning.
