    I go there just for the Farm to the Table sandwich. It's a little overpriced in my opinion but it is worth every penny. I love their fresh cut fries with olive tempade. Everything is always fresh. It is generally pretty loud, especially when really busy but I think it's just the set up of the restaurant. The service personnel are always pretty nice.

    Our 4 person group started off at the outside bar while waiting for out table. The cocktails were just ok. Nothing outstanding but they also had a good wine selection. The baked oysters were very dry and hard to remove from the shell. Not juicy at all but very dry. The fried green tomatoes and pork belly were a big hit. The dinner selections were tasty. I had the pompano dish and it was great. The native chili was dry as well. It was meaty but also very dry and lacked moisture or sauce. The desserts were good except the whisky butter cake with blackberries came with 1 blackberry and it was cut in half. I wish it had more berries or some blackberry compote to go with it. Overall nice meal with some improvements to be had on some dishes. I would recommend this place especially with the nighttime ambiance.
