On arrival, we requested a booth in The Lounge to try Happy Hour. It turned out to be very Happy Two-Hours. Nicky (Nicole) and her waitstaff team fulfilled every request and snapped a few pics. Great time with truly great food.

We drove over 7 hours to dine here, because it is phenomenal! Absolutely everything is lovely from being greeted at the street, the hostess showed kindness to servers attentiveness. The three appetizers were delicious followed by three mouthwatering entrees. The crab cakes were worth the long drive alone. The adorable corn bread muffins and hummus were awesome. The shrimp & grits were incredible. The ox tail and salmon were so good. The portions were huge. It was very hard to enjoy dessert but we did it because it was fantastic. This dining experience is one to remember and wish to repeat again. Thank you for a very special dinner.

We had an amazing time, was even able to be seated earlier than our reservation. Our server was spot on and made us feel valued and special. Took extra time and patience to take photos of us as well.
