    Service was acceptable. Seem to didn’t understand, after we explained, that we were due at ASO by 8:00. Waited on folks who arrived after us and then finally got to us. Just wasn’t the best

    Very slow service but polite wait staff. First time going to this restaurant so maybe just a day when they were short staffed. Food was delicious.

    The Apple Salad and Shrimp and Grits were just about perfect! My friend had the pork and remarked on its flavor and said it was cooked perfectly, a good size, too. We also enjoyed our martinis.

    Food was average. The She Crab Soup was a huge disappointment!! Aside from tasting more like a bisque, I only discerned two tiny pieces of crab meat in the bowl of soup. Needless, to say I have had much better.

    We were a bit underwhelmed this time. We come at least once a year for a special event and just wasn't thrilled with the menu or the service. The menu is usually really awesome, several of us had the trout, which is one our menu favorites, but the side of sweet potato and turnip greens was dry and uninspired. We are just not sure we will do this again next year.
