    Service was first class. Steaks had a peppery rub that added great flavor to a tender NY strip. The pimento fritters were so good I could have made a meal out of them. All washed down with a balanced Cab from Napa. We’ll be back.

    We had a lovely Easter dinner, the prix fixe menu was excellent, we all enjoyed our choices, and the wait staff was cheerful and efficient. We will definitely be back to try the regular menu in the future.

    Maya was absolutely amazing!! The food was fresh and cooked to perfection. We started with a few drinks and were blown away by the strawberry lemonade. The ribs were excellent and the rockfish was full of flavor, albeit the portion was a bit small. We had the chocolate torte and the key lime pie which complimented our food very well. Kudos to our server Mary T for giving such positive vibes!

    As always the food was very good. While our server was very warm and friendly she was overextended and so longer waits than there should have been

    We reserved a table in the Upstairs Dining Room. We were not given one. The wine we ordered from the menu was not available. On the positive side, the pan seared rockfish and the pan seared rainbow trout were very tasty as were the green beans. However, I cannot recommend ordering their shaved brussels sprouts as they were almost too salty to eat.

    Meal was 10/10. Fried green tomatoes to split, rockfish w/ roasted potatoes and brussels sprouts for him, and mushroom risotto with broccoli for me. Incredible flavors with the correct textures (risotto and fish perfectly cooked, fried green tomatoes were crispy crunchy), food was hot and delicious. Our server Joyce even made sure to omit bacon on the Brussels sprouts for Friday in lent and gave great cocktail recommendations from bartender Ted. Amazing, would not hesitate to recommend!

    Server took way too much time gabbing at tables. Food sitting in window as I walked by. Ours was served barely warm. Some partially cold. Ribs were the worst I have ever been served. Over done leather like bark/crust, dry. Collards soaked in vinegar. Risotto? More like soup with long grain rice. Cheese fritters cold on the inside.
