I tried the Sweet Potato Pancakes today for the first time. The pancakes were delicious and prepared perfectly. We have brunch at this location regularly and the food is consistently good. The bartender, Sam Clark is the best! She always provides top quality service AND with a smile.

Three ladies out for Sunday Brunch. We love the locally sourced foods. Everything was delicious and the live guitar music was very pleasant to hear. The food was reasonably priced. I had a Bloody Mary and a fried chicken sandwich with fries. Yum! Also, shout out to service. Great wait staff.

The food was good but some of it was overly spicy - and I like some spice. The service was fine. The server forgot to bring sweetener for my tea. My main issue is that even though some of the restaurant was renovated, some areas still look worn.
