    Ordered the wedge salad; hands down one of the best wedge salad I’ve ever ordered in a restaurant. Entrées were the fried chicken and blackened salmon. Both were delicious and perfectly cooked. However, the vegetables that came with my fried chicken should have been cooked longer; some pieces were still raw in the center. Ordered the cheesecake for dessert which was also delicious – very smooth and less dense than most cheesecakes I’ve had.

    We tried 9 appetizers and one dessert for our table of four. It was the perfect amount of food. The meatballs are so supple! The Brussels sprouts were like a warm pecan and blue cheese salad- very different and very tasty. Service was excellent and food came quickly. The only down side was the price- apps were $16-20 each, so a lot less food for the price compared to ordering entrees for $25-40. It was a fun experience.

    I met for lunch with one friend that I only see occasionally. I would not recommend this place for a quiet lunch. It’s definitely a spot for groups to meet. The menu is varied but the food is good.

    Lovely place! The vegetarian options are amazing! We went there to celebrate Valentine's day and had a blast. The staff is also very friendly. Our server was Jordan and she did a great job.
