   Was hoping for a much better experience for our anniversary dinner but came away disappointed. There’s no atmosphere here. It’s has cafeteria vibes with open seating areas and bright lights. We ordered the pimento cheese appetizer which was fine but nothing special. They brought some cornbread which was very dry. The sea bass and hog chop entrees (each $36) were average at best. The chop had good flavor but was 50% fat. The best part of the meal was the mushroom soup which we guessed was included because we didn’t order it. Our server included a cocktail on our bill which never arrived so we had them remove it. Overall, $150 for two entrees, three drinks and an appetizer in a room that felt nothing like a restaurant. Feels like the rest of most of the downtown restaurants - trying too hard to be fancy and cool, when people just want a good meal at a fair price. As 20 year residents, we checked the box but been there done that on every cookie cutter restaurant like this downtown.

   Everything we ordered was excellent, from the pimento cheese and bacon jam appetizer to the wild mushroom soup and the pork chop and tenderloin were cooked to perfection. The sticky toffee pudding was a perfect ending to the excellent meal. Brit took good care of us, bringing a taste of wines he recommended that went excellent with the meals and good menu recommendations. We'll be back again soon.

   Overrated. Server not intuitive at all. Got stuck at tables. Steak was cold. She also didn't ask for drink orders when she delivered the water and then went to other tables and took their dinner order. When she finally got back we had to ask her about drinks. After she took the drink orders, instead of putting the order in, she wanted the take food orders. I had to say, let's start with some drinks. At one point we had 12 plates on our table and 3 serving plates. Chairs incredibly uncomfortable.
