I had the Fish soup. It was okay. I’ve had better food there. Hot tea was warm at best. It’s always a beautiful place to eat. The menu has good options for lots of diets. We’ll go back, but not for the fish soup.

As always, the service that staff provide is above and beyond. I love to bring colleagues from abroad to experience this high quality, upscale spin on southern food. It really sets a high bar! Of course, we came in like a storm and too many people followed us from the office, and the staff (especially Olivia W) handled it with grace, kindness, and humor. The food is ALWAYS amazing. The presentation of the plates, the quality of ingredients, and the environment just make for an overall wonderful experience. I cannot recommend enough!
