    The food was undeniably good, with dishes that were well-prepared and flavorful. However, the experience felt rushed, as the courses arrived almost immediately after one another, leaving little time to savor each dish. Additionally, the ambiance was less than ideal due to the constant opening of the door to the outside, which brought in unwelcome drafts and made it difficult to relax. A bit more attention to pacing and temperature control would elevate the dining experience significantly.

    An excellent dining experience and the staff was superb. They are committed to quality. We visited for brunch and had the chicken and waffles which exceeded expectations. The vegetables and rice and the king biscuit rounded out our experience and were delicious. Highly recommend.

    We had the venison special, duck and steak frites and it was all fantastic. The venison and duck were absolutely next level. When ducks on the menu you have to order it, is the motto I live by and I was not disappointed. It was amazing will go back and recommend to anyone.

    We had the best time! The service was phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. There wasn’t a single thing our party got that wasn’t delicious. We went for my birthday and joked that our group wants to go for everyone’s birthday for the next 10 years. You won’t be disappointed!
