    I've had breakfast here twice and thoroughly enjoyed both: Avocado Toast and Chick and Waffle. The food was delicious, the portions appropriate and the cost very reasonable.

    All our meals were outstanding. The artichoke appetizer was a pleasant surprise. My chicken fried steak was almost better than my Moms. The sweet potato’s may be my new favorite.

    Great wine selection for the food and a great menu that is refreshed often. The "Bar Bites" are a great way to have a drink with friends while sharing diverse gourmet snacks.

    Food was inconsistent. One dish (pot pie) was outstanding but on the small side (it is listed as a small plate so that was expected). The other dish (chicken fried steak) was tough, soggy, and served over the sweetest sweet potato mash. Brown gravy does not pair well with sweet potato. The accompanying veggies were partly burnt and partly raw. All were unseasoned. All in all, I will return but will try a new dish next time.
