    We've been eating here for years and this is my first review. The first time we ate here was Valentine's Day several years ago. They typically have Crawfish Etouffee this time of year as a special. It's fantastic, this year it wasn't available. I did however get shrimp and grits which are always fantastic. The bread pudding is fantastic as well. We've been to eat elsewhere in town and came in for a bourbon barrel ale and desert. It's always a nest place for lunch or brunch as well the outdoor area is nice. As far as Palmer's if reading this review please bring back your oyster rockefeller!

    My server asked for my order...my date and I gave it to him...he didn't write it down but I assumed he remembered it...He did not.... He came back later and asked if we were ready to order...which was frustrating....Because we had already given him our appetizer and order...so now we're doing it again. He forgot the marinara for my calamari...and then he completely brought my girlfriend the wrong food which she ate anyways and didn't complain. So long story short...it sucked.

    Overall we had a tasty, nicely presented Valentine’s linch. The only comment I will add is that our nice server was adequate- but with just a little extra effort she could have been amazing.

    It was a quiet Sunday brunch. Not a lot of people there. We had the place for ourselves.Michael took care of us. Food came out fine. We had the crab benedicts, regular benedicts and fish tacos. Would recommend!

    We had a great meal and dining experience. We usually go here before a comedy show. The menu is varied and the options are really good, large portions too. The staff is friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is lovely too. It's great for an intimate dinner for two or for a group.

    Was really good, but the trout was very bland and the side items were a little overcooked
