My wife and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and every aspect was perfect. The service was friendly and attentive, and every course was delicious. The cornbread muffins were so soft and buttery without completely crumbling. Our waiter’s recommendations did not miss (my wife had the trout, I had the skirt steak, and both were incredible). And then we capped it off with smooth, silky coffee and a slice of chocolate cake. That’s not to mention the terrific cocktails of an Old Fashioned and their Southern Heart. If you’re looking for a great meal on a nice night out, you can’t do any better.

The service here was wonderful! Our Server was quick to take our order, get our drinks, and even get our food. The aesthetic was charming and noise was low providing a very intimate environment. Our drinks were amazing and our food was very tasty.

    Everything was wonderful, and we had a great dinner.  The only thing we wish we could’ve had was the item that was taken off the menu, the braised short ribs. We would like to see it back on the menu.

    Absolutely amazing experience! The food was on point and definitely Michelin star worthy. Only one point I would make are we bought a bottle of wine and my glass stayed empty for way too long (though servers came to the table). But the moment the head som saw she came over and corrected it and also gave samples of another wine which was a nice touch. The service was truly spectacular and otherwise very attentive. We had allergies and they accommodated us without hesitation. Also acknowledged the occasion we were celebrating which was quite the icing on the cake for us. We will be back!
