   Great food and great service! Highly recommend for dinner or happy hour. The brisket, fried chicken, and the trout are particularly good dishes.

   We all enjoyed our meals- the pulled pork was quite good. One friend in our group really enjoyed his shrimp & grits. Another liked the pear salad. Outstanding service from Karen - thank you. Nice dining room but was moderately noisy.

   I’ve been to the restaurant several times. I Brought my husband and some friends last night. It wasn’t The best experience with the food. The kale was almost raw. The lobster bisque was overly salty. Unfortunately, our server, who couldn’t have been nicer, somehow confused my husband‘s and my drinks, resulting in my getting an alcoholic drink as opposed to a mocktail..

   The Falls menu is innovative and delicious. The tuna tartar is outstanding and so is the bread basket. I highly recommend the Falls.

   Just okay. Not particularly welcoming. Limited menu. Decent food. Wish I was still into bourbon. Like it but prefer gin or non bourbon cocktails.

   Food and service were excellent. Employees were all upbeat from the front receptionist to the folks bussing the table. I’m looking forward to my next visit. Fried chicken is the best!

   The open plate brunch and mimosa kit makes for a very enjoyable meal with friends and family.

   I was sadly disappointed with the meal here and it just was not on par with my experience at other restaurants by this same ownership group. Overall, I really dug the ambiance. They did a great job designing the restaurant to give it a unique feel. Spacious, but warm. Chic, but not stuffy. They really did a good job with the design concept. The food was fine. No really complaints, but you don't return to restaurants for food that is just fine. To be fair, we really liked our appetizers across the board. We just found the mains to be somewhat lackluster. Finally, the service was a work in progress. We were there for a birthday dinner, and they forgot to put candles in the desert. They didn't bring us utensils for our desert, and it literally took longer to bring us utensils when we reminded them that we didn't have any than it took to get desert after ordering. There were other odd quirks with the service. For a long table, the waitress oddly would not come around to the other side of the table. The same thing was true when bringing food, the servers passed the meals down through the guests at the table. It's hard to truly explain, but more like the restaurant hasn't set up any training or expectations for the staff. They were perfectly kind. Maybe overworked? But it just wasn't very smooth.

    Good food, good service. Sitting by the bar was a little loud.
