    Great ambience and view. Server, though friendly, was overwhelmed...my fullest empathies. The food was disappointing save for the Shrimp & Grits. The rest did not meet expectations unfortunately. Deviled eggs, Caesar Salad, green tomatoes all underperformed.

    We were a party of 5. Our server suggested the Family Style Dining experience. We ordered almost every dish option. We enjoyed every dish because they came out to order. An added bonus for the unlimited mimosa option which we definitively took advantage of. We could definitely return here for lunch. The only downside was there were no chicken options under the Family Style Dining option. Being called the Hen Quarter, we were looking for some chicken options that were not extra.

    We had reservations noting a birthday. Waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged, not even bar tender spoke and said someone will be with us. Waited at table for 10 minutes or so. Seemed to be confusion on who would be our server. Server was nice enough but not attentive and we waited a while to get ur check to leave.

    Family style brunch is fantastic! You can order as much as you want. It's a great deal for the amount of money that you pay. The food is really good!
