    Our first visit to this place was incredible! Taylor, our server, was an absolute lifesaver. He gave us some fantastic recommendations and made sure we had the best time. The food was absolutely delicious! The pork chops were huge and bursting with flavor, and my wife’s fillet was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The mac and cheese was to die for - it was so creamy and indulgent. We’ll definitely be back because there are so many dishes we still need to try.

    We came in with a party of 10 on the night of the CMAs. We were seated immediately and our server was outstanding. She had phenomenal menu knowledge and flawless recommendations throughout our meal (drinks, apps, entrees, and desserts). The ambiance seemed more like a casual neighborhood place and felt a little cold. Do not let that fool you!! The food was absolutely fantastic. Every element thoughtfully paired and prepared. We'll done!!
