    When we arrived, we felt welcomed. However, the waitress Karen M seemed rushed to take our order. She didn't recommend anything from the menu, whether it was cocktails, food, or dessert, and kept coming back to ask if we were ready to order. We explained that it was our first time there, but she still didn't offer any suggestions which would’ve probably only taken a few minutes. It didn't seem busy, so we're not sure why she rushed the experience. Additionally, the food didn't arrive at the same time. We would have loved to try dessert, but the waitress tallied up the bill before asking if we wanted anything else. The overall experience and food were okay, but the waitress should have been more informed about the menu options and provided some suggestions.

    We were seated promptly at 5 p.m. A table of three and we ordered two fried green tomatoes, two buffalo shrimp, a salmon Caesar salad, muffins and a side of Mac. All the food came out separately and at 6 p.m. we were still waiting for food. The lettuce was no good and from the hard stalk of the lettuce, and the man and cheese was horrible. We waited 30 minutes for napkins and extra salad dressing and with 3 lemonades after the removal of the salad and Mac we paid $168. Totally overpriced and over rated. The people next to us was sending their food back.
