    Excellent service and sweet and savory dishes. The sausage gravy was perfect with the most delicious biscuit I have had. I would just order biscuits from here in the future. The French toast was cooked to perfection with a beautiful plating of strawberries and cream on top. As silly as this is, the water is quite pleasant.

    The food was great. The right amount of seasoning for everyone in our group. The pear and prosciutto salad was hit (although we are pretty sure green apples were substituted).

    No one at the hostess area when we came in and no acknowledgement of a reservation with Open Table. Our waitress was fine, though our calamari (which was tasty) came out lukewarm, not hot as it likely sat in the window waiting to be picked up. The bartender couldn’t stop talking to two women or looking at and showing pictures from his phone, so our drink orders sat unattended. If they had been busy I would’ve understood but it was rather empty at 7:00. The meal was fine, above average.

    Always wonderful service, food and cocktails. I've been a few times and have never been disappointed. It's never too loud so if you want to go somewhere where you can actually hear each other with a solid ambiance, this is your place. Can't wait to go back!
