    We had Sunday brunch and first and foremost the service was amazing. our waiter was friendly, entertaining, great recommendations and overall a fun person to greet us in the morning. The outdoor patio is great on a nice day and the inside is cozy and energetic. The food was great. creative french brunch options i have never encountered as well as American classics. Sausage gravy is amazing as are the cheese grits. Prices are reasonable by today's standards. 15-25 per plate. a glass of juggernaut chardonnay was only $11. I'm so used to getting gouged on most things these days, it was nice to have value and quality coexist here. Thank you!

    We booked this spot for Nights of Lights and I’m so glad we did! Not only is it in the heart of downtown but they offer parking which is impossible to find during this event. The valet even guided us out of their lot in a sea of people that clearly had no idea what a car on the road meant. The staff was courteous and attentive. The bucatini and short ribs were AMAZING. We left just before we had a chance to enjoy the music. This place is small so I’m glad we had a reservation. We will definitely be coming back here.

    The menu was filled with fun and delicious holiday cocktails. My wife and I enjoyed two specialty cocktails and both were delicious. Don’t forget the delicious food. We stopped in for a late lunch and chose a few appetizers for our meal. We shared the charcuterie board and the baked Brie, bother was amazing. The atmosphere was fun and festive for the Chrismas season. The decor was beautiful and very well done.
