    Interesting cocktail menu. Many different appetizers. The stars were the roasted duck entre along with their infamous cornbread. We arrived at 5:00pm on a Sunday night but it quickly filled up and had a lively atmosphere. Wait staff were for congenial and helpful. Would definitely go back.

    Our meals last night were delicious — steak and a scallop special. Their duck is amazing and is my usual order but the scallops were so fresh and cooked to perfection. Their food is always delicious and a meal only gets better when the weather warms up and you can sit outside. Relaxed atmosphere, great service and consistently good food. The best meals we’ve had in a while and i can’t wait to go back.
