    Absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed every aspect of our meal from the beer all the way to the deserts. The extra curricular things, such as service, ambience, mood etc. were second to none, the executive chef kyle came out to meet us and man, we couldn’t be more pleased with that encounter. The menu changes so one day my rec on the menu may change but for now we ordered a plethora of each course and each is beyond heavenly. Some highlights include: The focaccia bread, the ceaser (the best i’ve ever had), any steak ( can’t choose wrong there but the ribeye is unreal with the truffle butter), the spaghetti with red sauce, and the banana fosters cheese cake. We throughly enjoyed our experience and are already planning our next visit. Also as a side note, we loved and adored our waiter Jason. He is not only extremely knowledgeable on the menu, but is beyond caring and craftily intelligent on parings. (Olivia was helping Jason out and she was just and sweet and charming) We couldn’t recommend Little Betty any more.

    We arrived and were seated immediately, given cocktail list, wine list, and the menu. Our server was very attentive, giving us ample time to survey the menu. We ordered cocktails and a starter. The pimiento cheese fritters with green tomato marmalade were very tasty and a great start to our meal. The grilled scallops arrived perfectly cooked on a bed of tasty vegetable risotto, accompanied by fresh bread and warm and seasoned olive oil. Our friendly, attentive server and the delicious cocktails and food made for a perfect evening out.
