    Stephanie was our server, and very knowledgeable about the lunch menu! Our previous meal was at dinner and the menu was great then, as well. I’m gluten free and the Wilcox already had identified GF dishes and whether it was possible to adjust other dishes to make them GF. Nice beverage selection, too!

    Food was great. My salad with steak added was perfect, and large! Waitress Amanda and bar staff super. Drinks were fantastic. “Hands up” was delicious. I’d be back for that alone. When we arrived for our 7:15 reservation we were told it would be 35 min. When asked what the point of a reservation was I was met with “I don’t know I just work here”. I understand if things get backed up or if tables squat a little causing a delay, but that was not the response I was expecting.

    We love this place! Great atmosphere and food! Service is always slow so if you are in a rush this is not the place for you. Food, drinks and just overall sense of vibe makes the wait worth it IMO. Btw- one of the best places for wings in the area, both on regular nights and brunch!

    The restaurant experience was wonderful. We were the only people there for most of the time. It was if the place closed down for us, 😀. The service was great. They were extremely pleasant and attentive. The food and drinks was flavorful and yes, delicious. We will return. We went at 1 for lunch. Will try dinner next time and check out the night life there.
