    Such a great experience, beginning to end! The food was absolutley outstanding— perfectly cooked ribeye, grouper, sauces and sides. An amazing staff, but especially appreciated our server Jessie. So friendly, attentive, and she gave great recommendations!

    Chicken in chicken and the sea was tough. Service was weird. Didn’t check on us after food was delivered.

    Highly recommend the Heritage Hog. It is the best pork chop I’ve ever eaten. The light Smokey flavor is fabulous. Collards are out of this world!

    Phenomenal. 10/10. The sea bass was out of this world in an unreal good way. The staff was 12/10. They were so congratulatory for my husband passing his certification which is why we were there. Amazing views. All around an outstanding experience- will for sure be back.

    Good experience …would have been GREAT if servers had correctly delivered two Rib Eye Steaks ( one medium and one medium rare) to the table. No way of identifying the steaks condition until we began eating.
