Visitors from Maine, skipped the fried chicken this time which is always a treat. BBQ shrimp and cauliflower apps were terrific and ventured into seafood with corvina and trout. We eat lots of fish and these two dishes were outstanding! Perfectly cooked and spiced, delicious! Nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a very charming waitress. Look forward to coming back….

Great experience! We had Zachariah and Champagne help us tonight. They were friendly and patient, and offered food recommendations. The checked on us several times for water, drinks, bread, anything we needed. The Steak au Poivre was delicious and over garlic mashed potatoes. Colleagues had the Shrimp and Grits, and the Petite Filet. With the Shrimp and Grits, the charred shrimp added flavor to the smooth grits. The Petite Filet was cooked to a good medium and was tender and tasty, esp with the compound garlic butter. Thanks for a good experience!
