    Our server, Benjamin, did a fantastic job welcoming us and highlighting the menu. It was pretty busy and yet our food came quickly and was paced well. Appreciated the mock tail menu and loved the comfort style southern food. Was absolutely worth the drive from Asheville before a show at the Flat Rock Playhouse.

    We ordered appetizers Jalapeno Poppers and Whipped Goat with honey drizzle, almonds and cranberries with Pita slices, both were excellent!! The main course was individual pizzas Chicken Bacon Ranch, Buffalo Chicken and The Works, and a Large Greek Salad with grilled chicken. All were super delicious. Only negative was the chicken on the Greek Salad was dry and a little over cooked. Our waitress Jeanine was outstanding she served us with a smile and great efficient service! Ask for her when you can!!

    A wonderful dining experience. I hadn’t had lamb chops yet in a while, I asked the chef suggest a side for me. The chops were terrific and the suggested crispy red potatoes complimented the chops. My wife had surf and turf and she loved it. The filet was cooked perfectly and the crab cake was packed with tasty crabmeat. The drinks and wine were generous in size. The crème brûlée was rich and so creamy. A very enjoyable dinner.

    We had the Oscar Filet, scallops, crab cake, pork chop, pretzel and chocolate mousse. In addition to a couple of cocktails and we shared the Mesa Amarone. The food was amazing, drinks were delicious, the server was lovely (sorry I didnt get her name) and there was no pressure to move on even after a couple of hours. Not my first time or my last. My Mom has special needs and they never disappoint (taking great care of us). Love it here!!
