    We made reservations for 7:00 for my wife's birthday. As we were going through the day, we got hungry sooner, so we decided to go early and see if they could seat us. We figured if not, we could hang out at the bar until it was time, so win-win either way. They were very accommodating to us and seated us right away, which tuned out to be a blessing. As we were wrapping up our meal, a large group of young folks came in for their HS Formal dinner and the sound level greatly increased. No shade on the kids, they were just having fun and we not at all disrespectful. Just the noise level increased when they got there. Our server was very attentive to us, but never made us feel rushed. My wife got the filet medallions and I got the stuffed chicken. Her medallions were very good. My chicken was fine. Overall, we will definitely be back to try other things on the menu. It's a higher end cajon cuisine, so there are lots of very appetizing items on the menu. They have a more casual menu and vibe in the bar area if you are looking for something less formal.

    The food was ok but the service was great. The cook and our server was fantastic. The drinks were good (we ordered sweet tea.) We loved the atmosphere most of all. We got a belly ache and nauseated after eating there so I am not sure if it was the food or what. Cost $33 for 2 buffets. I wouldn't go again for food, but for drinks or the just the peacefulness, yes.
