    The service here is good, but while the food is good, it is way overpriced for what it is. I feel like they're making up for the location of something?

    we went for brunch and it was delicious. The fried chicken biscuit with little spicy gravy and eggs was so good. the chicken was perfectly fried, juicy, tender and full of flavor. my husband got the BBQ hash and he said it was really really good. very enjoyable experience. Wonderful service . we cannot wait to go back and try the regular menu.

    We had an amazing time it wasn’t too noisy even though it was Father’s Day. Everyone had great customer service starting with the hostess, we were seated before our reservation time. Our waitress was very helpful with selecting menu items and helped us pick some delicious food. We had a great time the food was hot and delivered out to us in a timely manner we think. We will be going back.

    Amazing quality of food and service! Our waiter was really knowledgable about the menu and we took all of his recommendations and we were NOT disappointed. I’m still obsessing over the Roasted Salmon, literal 1000/10!! Can’t wait to go back. Also the drinks *chef’s kiss*!!

    Went with a group of five for a work lunch and the service was pretty much nonexistent. Took forever for a server to come to the table and was just as slow every time after. My food was good but with all the other options so close by not sure I would suggest again, especially for a work lunch or dinner.
