    This was our first time at this lovely restaurant. The filet was mouthwatering, the drinks were perfect and the pecan pie was so decadent that it melted in our mouths.

    What a great combination of traditional southern cuisine with a modern flair. Started with delicious smoked trout dip with homemade crackers that the chef makes with his pasta maker. Then I had the house specialty crispy flounder. This is typically challenging to eat, if it’s not prepared perfectly and this was perfect! The sauce was a sweet compliment to the savory fish. Finished with pecan pie. One of the best I’ve ever had.
