    Great evening! We had requested a certain table location to accommodate for the fact that one of us used a walker, and the staff chose the perfect table. The food was delicious. We had fried green tomatoes, bread and butter, and the.Grouper for one and pork chop for me. Everything was prepared and presented beautifully and tasted fantastic. Our server was attentive and efficient. A great anniversary dinner!
