The service was very fast and helpful. We quickly got all of our drinks, appetizers, and main dishes. The waitress was very polite and answered all the questions we had about the menu with ease and clarity. The food was delicious. We ordered the goopy burger and maltagliati. Both of which were good portion sizes for the price and had great flavor.

My husband and I are supportive of the Chef and how his food is amazing. We had the most amazing time! Our waitress was absolutely amazing, professional and attentive. She also gave me a great suggestion on cocktails and she was right! It was a beautiful time we had, low level noise and a vibe. We had the option of sitting outside and it was beautiful. The food….AMAZING!!!! I have been wanting to try the Braised Beef Meatloaf and it did not disappoint! My hubby has the trout which was great, and the 3 Cheess Mac and Cheese and Grits were surprisingly great! We also had sweet potatoes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. The food is filled with love and will leave you full!
