    The chef was amazing. So helpful to find workarounds for a tomato allergy for one and a gluten allergy for another. Made a tasting menu fun again. Service was a tad haphazard, but I don't think tasting menus are the regular. Everyone was so pleasant it made up for it. Our server even shared her stash of bottled water. What a memorable Christmas. Thank you!

    Our party of six were all pleasantly surprised as this was our first visit. Two locals in this party and the rest outlanders. We were greeted warmly and our waiter was well-informed about the menu and preparation of the food. Our starters were all over the top delicious and chef-inspired. The BLT was by far the favorite but bacon board was also a hit. We all ordered either the ribs or their famous lemon-dusted fried chicken. Everyone enjoyed their dinner immensely and boxes were brought to take an abundance of this delicious fare home for leftovers! It will not be wasted! I can not close without commenting on the ambience. It was warm, inviting and cleverly decorated. We will return!

    This place always delivers consistent good southern food with a local twist. Highly recommend trying the fried pickles. Waitstaff are attentive. If you do want to come for brunch come early, just makes for a better experience. It does tend to get crowded as the day goes on.
