    The service was OK at first, but was slower later on when we needed drink refills and the check. The food wasn't great - we enjoyed their chicken on earlier visits, but the brunch items were subpar, including the biscuits and gravy (minimal sausage in a thin gravy) and the ham and scrambled eggs were bland and dry. We won't be back anytime soon given how many other options we have.

    I've been several times for brunch and thoroughly enjoy the food and cocktail menu. I often recommend this restaurant to others for brunch. I've tried many of the brunch menu items and they were delicious. My favorites are the cornbread, fried green tomatoes, avocado toast, pork belly, and crab cake benedict. Their friend chick is also very good. Overall I am always pleased with the ambiance, service, and food.

    My family and I enjoyed having brunch here over the holiday season. Our server was excellent. The brunch menu is a bit limited and there are items on the menu that aren’t bunch specific and an applicable alternative would have been nice. Lastly, the macaroni and cheese recipe MUST be changed, it is horrible, from the bread crumbs on top to the cheese sauce, please revise or remove this from the menu. I would recommend this place but not the macaroni and cheese.

    Chicken good, sauces great. Steak terrible, esp at 45$. Sides ok and only Luke warm which was irritating. Prob won’t return though would be nice to see if our experience was a one time thing or the broader experience

    The brunch was amazing! Service was great and we loved the “bottomless” mimosas. I definitely would recommend and come again!
