We were seated at a table and then the young lady told us we had to move because the table was reserved for a party of 4. So we were moved to the table with another couple on a date. 10 minutes later, a couple was seated at our original table. Then another couple about 30-40 minutes later. I didn’t understand and felt lied to, but the couple we were seated with didn’t bother us and we didn’t bother them.\n\nThe seating isn’t ideal, you are placed with random people and it’s difficult to have a private conversation with the dining companion. To top it off, our table was a couple feet from the bar so the people getting up and down, going back and forth was a little off putting.The spot is very small so I understand why, but if you like having personal space, it won’t happen here.\n\nThe food was amazing! The portion sizes are very small for the price point i.e., I ordered garlic confit mini carrots and I was served 4, but again, the food was really good! The waitress didn’t know the menu…” The catch of the day is Branzino and it’s topped with something…I don’t know”Manager, Kim was kind and did I say the food was phenomenal?

We arrived on time. We were seated at a table and then the young lady told us we had to move because the table was reserved for a party of 4. So we were moved to the table with another couple on a date. 10 minutes later, a couple was seated at our original table. Then another couple about 30-40 minutes later. I didn’t understand and felt lied to, but the couple we were seated with didn’t bother us and we didn’t bother them.
The seating isn’t ideal, you are placed with random people and it’s difficult to have a private conversation with the dining companion. To top it off, our table was a couple feet from the bar so the people getting up and down, going back and forth was a little off putting.The spot is very small so I understand why, but if you like having personal space, it won’t happen here.
The food was amazing! The portion sizes are very small for the price point i.e., I ordered garlic confit mini carrots and I was served 4, but again, the food was really good! The waitress didn’t know the menu…” The catch of the day is Branzino and it’s topped with something…I don’t know”Manager, Kim was kind and did I say the food was phenomenal? Give that chef a raise!!
We will return as long as the cook doesn’t leave.

We had a lovely brunch here (after enjoying our first visit the previous Friday night). The menu is diverse and light, but filling. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles, as this is the ONLY place I’ve found locally that serves a chicken breast cutlet (instead of a thigh)! It was seasoned and crispy, the waffle was freshly made, and the syrup warm. The hubs had the tasty shrimp and (Gouda) grits, and only wished for more shrimp (since I stole one!) The wait staff was welcoming, professional and attentive. We’ll be back soon!

Excellent-243 went above and beyond for our anniversary. It is a small restaurant and they were packed so it was somewhat noisy but that may have been due to local Prom. The lighting was a little dim but the service, food, and extra attention to detail made a wonderful anniversary
