    We had a wonderful brunch this morning and Lauren B. Was an awesome waitress. She was kind and very attentive, and brought the food to us. It was a very enjoyable brunch.

    Food was outstanding, as always. Good value and quality. Our server Forrest was an absolute delight and took excellent care of us. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 on overall/service was due to the gal who answered the phone. We were stuck in traffic, and I called to let them know we would be late. Her response was "We will only hold your reservation for 20 minutes past your scheduled time." There was no,"Thanks for letting us know and we'll see you soon" just a clipped reply basically saying you'd better get here asap. This was not isolated. We have dealt with this attitude from them before, which is a shame. (They weren't even that busy.) Everything else is top notch.

    Absolutely fantastic meal and drinks! My only complaint was that we were seated at a table next to the open air window, and the loud motorcycles periodically made conversation a bit difficult. Otherwise, a great experience, wonderful service, and a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

    Dinners of grilled tofu and the scallops were very good. The fried grits cakes served with the scallops had good flavor but were somewhat pasty for my palate. The featured pear- flavored martini was too sweet and lacked depth in flavor; I admit to the label “cocktail curmudgeon”. Service excellent and ambiance lively!
