   My friend and I had the best lunch in the patio. The drinks and food were both great!

   Food okay. Service was terrible. Server came and took order and never check on us again until we were done. My husband dropped his fork and had to eat the rest of his dinner with a knife. Not going back there again.

   I hate that your visit with us was anything less than exceptional. We strive to continuously improve our guest experience, and it sounds like we missed the mark with your experience. I assure you that what you experienced on your visit is not our standard, and I would be disappointed if that experience was the last way you got to remember us. I have followed up with you privately to make things right.

   I’ve been there many times and today I had brought family in from out of town and we were all disappointed in the service. Especially since it’s not a cheap place. Our server was pretty horrible. She never introduced herself, when I asked which kinds of bread they had she said I don’t know and never offered to check, she never checked on us or asked how our food was or if anyone needed anything and when we sat there for a while after, she never came back to ask if we wanted water or if the few people that showed up later wanted anything. Also checked on reservation that it was someone’s birthday in our party and although that could have been an issue with communication from the server, she didn’t offer a free dessert for them Or even say happy birthday.

   We were ignored for at least 5 minutes after being seated. It was a Monday night and the restaurant was empty. Coming to take our order was after thought. There was no welcome to our restaurant, have you been here before, are you celebrating anything, do you have any questions, it was what do you want. The food was average at best, the salad was over dressed and to acidic, the oysters were sandy, the banana foster pudding was mediocre at best.

   We went to brunch at this restaurant. I had the Bison Hash and others in my party had the garden omelet, avocado toast, and the shrimp & grits. I had a bite of the other plates and everything tasted great! A serious pet peeve that this restaurant can easily remedy and save time & money in the process, is how management apparently encourages the servers to NOT write down people's orders but commit them to memory instead. Perhaps the management thinks that this somehow is part of their brand's culture or something. I don't know. However, since we had several dishes brought to us simply wrong (and not what we ordered) --- where I got over-hard eggs when I ordered over-medium, my wife got runny eggs (when she asked for hard poached eggs a la carte) and my sister who ordered an entirely different dish got the hard-poached eggs instead, that just makes things irritating. We then asked for a grilled salmon fillet prepared simple (salt and pepper) for my young daughter, but they brought smoked salmon. Mind you, that smoked salmon tasted delicious (I took a small bite) but it wasn't what we ordered, and my daughter didn't like it. To the restaurant's credit, the server brought out a new salmon for us and also brought out a pouched egg as ordered for my wife, but I just let my own incorrect order just slide since I didn't want to wait for any new dish. If this restaurant lets their servers simply WRITE DOWN their customers' orders --- you know, like how they've done in eating establishments for the past few centuries --- things would go much smoother for all parties involved. To sum up: It sounds like I'm down on this place. I'm not. The food was really good, and the greenspace play area next door is great for families with kids. But just WRITE DOWN THE ORDERS! Good grief, people! This is an EASY Fix for this restaurant! If this place wants to be "different", give your servers tablets, smart phones, or paper plates to take down orders, but TAKE THEM DOWN!

   Ambiance was great! But the service was not good at all. We waiting 20-25 minutes just to see our server. It was not a busy night. Shrimp & Grits were horrible

   Over an hour to get dinner. Over salted snapper was not edible. David, our server, was slow and inattentive. Manager tried to make things better but likely will not return.

   We were seated on the patio but I don’t feel that the restaurant was prepared for patrons to be on a patio. Weather was cold and it was rainy. The restaurant didn’t have enough heaters to go around and parts of the patio were not covered. The table and seat cushions we were seated at were wet. Staff was great and tried to accommodate us and even comped us a desert. Food was getting cold fairly quickly due to the cold weather. Overall, food and service were great but ambiance and overall experience was below what I expected.

    Great restaurant! Great vibe! The food is not always perfectly executed, but overall I’d say this is a great place to go.
