    I treated my boyfriend here for a Valentine’s Day brunch and it did not miss. He really enjoyed the atmosphere and expressed that it looked very eclectic. It was not overly crowded and the food and service were great. He really enjoyed that everything was made from scratch, especially his ginger beer. The host and waitresses are very attentive as well.

    We dined out on Valentine’s day with a group of girls and they showed us a great time! The drinks were great, as well as the Charcuterie, but next time I will definitely just get the crispy rice and skip out on the cheese. I ordered the salmon with farro and brussels sprouts, a friend enjoyed the steak frites, and we all took a nibble of the fried chicken and biscuit. All came highly recommended by our waiter. Everything was super fresh and tasty, but my salmon was extremely salty, so avoid if that’s not something you like. I particularly enjoyed the monkey bread dessert, the ambiance, and the vibe. Dress code seemed very lax even among their staff but gave off a dressy vibe without being over the top!

    Everytime I eat here something is off with the timing of the food - first time my app never came out - 2nd time apps took a WHILE but then the entrees were quick and THENNNN the dessert took sooooo long we were walking to leave when it finally arrived. They need a better kitchen manager or expo or something is wrong in there idk what but the Food is ALWAYS AMAZING and the ambience is great and staff is friendly just wish they could figure out the ticket times.

    The food was delicious. The salmon with risotto was incredible. We all wanted to try the banana bread French toast and ended up getting it to share as a dessert. It was so good, but very rich. I am so glad I did not get it for my entree but would definitely try it again as dessert.

    Took 15 minutes to get a drink from the bar at the manager order, which is absolutely ridiculous. The restaurant was not that busy. The pretzel bites were mediocre best— They were not soft. They were mostly hard.a The whippet and her was quite good, however thank God I got a Cobb salad with chicken and may have been 2 ounces of chicken on it not worth $18 at all. The Caesar salad was beyond lame with some small shrimp sautéed. Not sure what they’re trying to who they’re trying to serve folks to get their act together— We will never go back to this restaurant again. I wouldn’t suggest it to anybody not trying to be ugly here, but just beyond mediocre.

    We were there for a book club and asked for a quiet corner, but we were seated right in the middle of the restaurant . But the biggest disappointment was that my 16 ounce glass of Bearded Iris "Homestyle IPA" - Tennessee was $19.00 for a 16 ounce glass. Seems quite high for a glass of beer. The burger was good at $19 which is the price we are used to for a burger and fries at a higher end restaurant. They don't have the prices on the draughts which should be added so the patron is aware.
