    Hidden gem, with a fantastic menu, with options for everyone...vegans, meat eaters and everything in between. The owner is concerned about her patron's health, from the menu to the bottled water served in glass bottles with metal lids. The music is performed at a level that allows conversation, without yelling, while enjoying a fantastic meal. I wish I'd learned about this establishment sooner.

    Omg!!!!!! The staff. Ambience, vibe, food, drinks, was amazing. I am definitely coming back. The lamb and crab cakes was so good! I took the shrimp and grits home, it was good the next day. It’s small and cozy so reservations is mandatory! I will definitely be back.

    My husband and I enjoyed our mini jazz-infused brunch after church. It was very nice and the food was commendable! Parking was tight, but we will definitely return.

    This was a date night for my wife and I and we had an amazing time! The food was great but if you get the salmon BLT, be prepared for them to put practically a whole salmon in the sandwich. The live band was definitely the highlight of brunch and honestly made the experience. We are definitely coming here again.
