    Went for a table of two and got sat a table that felt like I should be breaking up with my girlfriend instead of attending a date. We were sat at a booth that was ginormous for a party of two, the front hostess barely spoke a word, and our waitress was short and sweet with greetings. We chose to get drinks and leave to go to another restaurant. We’ve heard great things, but between the greeting at the front door, the seating arrangements that we reserved for, and the greeting from our server we spent $24 and called it a day. Hopefully next time will be a much better atmosphere and serving experience.

    Great food and service! My husband had the filet and I the ribeye, both were cooked perfectly, and seasoned perfectly! Our son loved his fries and burger, sometimes children meals are treated as after thoughts, this was not. Entire meal and service was wonderful!

    Enjoyed the meal- had 2 with catfish, one trout and one shrimp and grits. Great meals for all-enjoyed the sides with each meal. Wished they would have included the side salads with the meal. Room was very warm for two of our guests.

    I was extremely disappointed with my recent dining experience. I ordered a large Caesar shrimp salad, and what I received was unacceptable — just four tiny shrimp scattered on the plate, completely lost in the greens. For the price charged, this was simply not worth it. When I pointed this out to our waiter, he seemed confused and offered no solution, only saying, “That’s the way it comes.” The service was just as underwhelming. Our waiter made no effort to explain the menu or highlight any specials. The level of attention we received was no better than at a fast-food chain — definitely not what I expect from a restaurant at this price point. Although my two guests were satisfied with their brunch dishes, my experience was poor enough that I will not be returning. There are far better options where both the food and service reflect the cost.

    We came on a Friday evening for date night. The drinks were great & the food was even better. We loved the crab dip & spicy shrimp. The atmosphere was live & enjoyable, as it was karaoke night.
