Food was tasty and interesting. Server was friendly, but not overbearing.seating had good spacing so you aren’t on top of other diners. Pricing was appropriate for the setting and food quality.

Our server was fantastic. We ordered the brussel sprout appetizer and that was extremely delicious! For my entree I ordered the duck confit tacos. It was a large serving of three tacos plus some coleslaw that had a kick to it on the back end. It was delicious. My husband ordered the fried bison and it was overcooked and dry. Our other friend ordered the short ribs and I tasted a piece and it seemed dry to me not juicy. But all in all this is a really cool place. The ambience is really nice but we were seated right by a speaker and could barely hold a conversation. We actually asked for them to turn the music down and they did a little bit. It's a great place I think you should try it.

Was a great experience. Server Jaqueline made me feel welcomed. I showed up about 20 mins before my reservation, she said no problem and got me a table with a view on the patio, even though I was by myself. The food was good. I had the oysters, and crab claws. Oysters were on ice and had great flavor. The crab claws were a bit overdone, but the flavor was great. I got the Oglethorpe steak for a main course, and it was loaded with crab and mushrooms on top. Perfect!! Overall great dining experience, great service!!
