We absolutely enjoyed the four-course brunch at this wonderful restaurant, and I have to say, it truly exceeded all expectations. Our server Freddy, was absolutely outstanding. He was attentive, charming, professional, and incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Freddy recommended the Carolina Gumbo, which was full of flavor, and the Shrimp and Grits, which was nothing short of spectacular. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the grits were creamy with just the right amount of kick. Thanks Freddy for making this brunch experience unforgettable 👏

This restaurant is amazing. I would highly recommend this place. We had reservations, and upon arrival, the host offered to seat us upstairs. I reminded her of our reservations and she assured me that we would like our seating. We absolutely loved it . The D.J. played some good R&B music , and the food was delicious and reasonably priced, drinks pricey, peach cobbler was not good, it looked good. The ambiance was excellent!

With the exception of one Thanksgiving dish, the food was great. When we commented on the dish, the manager removed the cost from the check. Family members ordered other than Thanksgiving items and were very pleased. We ordered several take out dishes and it is true….BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER!! Enjoy.
