An excellent dining experience and the staff was superb. They are committed to quality. We visited for brunch and had the chicken and waffles which exceeded expectations. The vegetables and rice and the king biscuit rounded out our experience and were delicious. Highly recommend.

Service was acceptable. Seem to didn’t understand, after we explained, that we were due at ASO by 8:00. Waited on folks who arrived after us and then finally got to us. Just wasn’t the best
