    Lovely place! Loved the attention to ingredients and decor details. It was a smooth check in process. The reservation process was easy, and I had a really great brunch there with friends. It was classy, laid back and I even got a free birthday dessert! All the staff were so kind, and really made the atmosphere great.

    My family and I had a belated Valentines family dinner at Colleen’s kitchen. This is a special occasion favorite with my family and our visit this time reinforced that opinion. We arrived in time to enjoy the happy hour which I believe is every day. We ordered drinks off the happy hour menu as well as their delicious deviled eggs, skillet, cornbread, and the brussels sprouts. Although we all ordered different dishes, everybody ended up with some of their wonderfully delicious grits. The family ordered shrimp and grits, fried chicken with a side of grits, the seared scallops which comes with grits, and one of the breakfast biscuits with a side of grits. All of the food was very well prepared, and everyone seemed to enjoyed it. Since I ate some of the appetizers, I took home part of my breakfast biscuit and grits, and have to say that they were wonderful as leftovers as well. The only disappointment on this visit was that even though we arrived early in the evening, they were already out of the lemon meringue pie. Although the noise level can be a little loud sometimes this is a very charming restaurant with wonderful service and an absolutely delicious menu.

    The food was super underwhelming. Both the fried chicken and the Green Goddess salad were SO salty. We also asked for the dressing on the side and it came with it all over the salad already. The biscuits were good but a bit undercooked. Overall, we won’t be back unfortunately.
