Kimberlee was fantastic! Perfect blend of insight on the menu and not being too much of an interruption at our table. Roasted oysters, crab cakes, pork tomahawk with green beans and mashed potatoes were outstanding. Mac n cheese was dry but the bourbon butter cake more than made up for it!

We had a fabulous evening and Ronnie was a great server. The only bit of feedback we have is when you have a band playing very loudly next door, you should turn off the resteraunt music because they compete with each other and you can not enjoy music from either side. Other than that, we had an amazing meal at a place with a great overall vibe. Will definitely be back!!!
