Food preparation quality was inconsistent, with some dishes cooked to near-perfection but others just mediocre. Servings of mixed greens in salads were much too large in comparison with the skimpy volume of other salad ingredients. Service staff were efficient, unfailingly attentive, and a pleasure to deal with. Nice atmosphere and pleasant live music.

Chef Terry was incredible and her corn soup is something that I cannot get enough of it. I crave it and came all the way from town just to have it. Terry is a Gem!

A huge improvement over our last visit about 2 years ago(?). We ordered the same items for comparison and enjoyed them. The grape bruschetta and hummus plate were delicious. Our server was Rocky (I think) great, enthusiastic service though it looked like she had most of the tables, she managed. We’ve always called this the “smoky green place” because of the ventilation. It seemed a little better but has a way to go.
