    Service was great once we had someone assigned. We were left for 20+ minutes when we were seated initially though without anyone approaching us for anything other than water.

    Fantastic restaurant. Our waiter was so helpful in directing me in what I can eat, as I am celiac. He recommended the grits and it was some of the best dishes I’ve had. The Assistant Manager came over to assure us everything would be allergy safe. It was a fantastic experience overall!

    Great, enthusiastic atmosphere. The staff was great! Very attentive and conscientious. The food was good, although my veggie burger was underwhelming. The fries were good, though.

    The service was awesome. The oyster sampler and bone in Ribeye were outstanding. Perfectly cooked and amazingly paired with their fries. So delicious. Highly recommend
