    Server was EXCELLENT- professional, friendly, served with a smile, attentive, knowledgeable of the menu and inquired for the uncertainty about a menu item. This was the 2nd time we've had brunch here. However, our brunch experience has not been a wow factor. Although food presentation was great, my entree (Shrimp and grits) was a filling dish but surprisingly bland in taste. Not a dish I'd order again. We will stick to dinner at this location instead of brunch. The trout and risotto is consistently delicious on the dinner menu. My favorite!

    Wonderful Easter brunch. Joshua suggested the “blt” and hot honey sauce with the fried chicken and it was fantastic. Great service.

    Early dining as no times between 5:30 and 7:30 available. Seated in pleasant room off open kitchen, 6-7 tables filled quickly. Server Bailey was excellent. Pleasant and knowledgeable about menu. Trout with risotto and roasted carrots perfect. Manager (?) stopped by our table to enquire if we enjoyed everything and thanked us for dining with them. The one negative, which I’ve written up before, the restaurant sits on a curve in the road. If you are turning left out of the lot you have no line of sight of vehicles approaching from the right. Very dangerous to safely exit as cars race around that bend. Beware.
