    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.

    Overall the food was amazing! Service was a little slow, but I’m think maybe the server was newer or nervous. It took around 20 minutes to be seen once we were seated. He didn’t bring our bread to the table initially we had to ask for it. He also forgot to bring us the 2nd basket of bread after we asked for that as well. It also took over 20 minutes to bring our checks after we finished eating. At least he was nice every time he spoke with us and got our food out correctly. Food was delicious and would go back.

    I ordered as to-go, so my review is from that perspective. I ordered the ribeye (wasn't a thick cut) collards and sweet potato fries. I requested medium well, but I feel it cas cooked well. They packed my fries with the collards and meat in the same tray, which resulted in my fries being soggy. The egg rolls were tasty, but they too were a bit soggy and greasy. My husband really enjoyed the shrimp and grits.

    My wife and I celebrated our 15th Anniversary and we really enjoyed our dinner. The vibe of the entire restaurant was great and the food was amazingly delicious. We definitely will be revisiting soon…

    Dinner was fantastic! We ordered the filet mignon and it was seasoned and cooked perfectly! The crab cakes were delicious, the service was very good and the ambiance was nice too. We'll be back for brunch and date night!
