    One of our favorite restaurants. Andy, our server was spot on. We went for the Restaurant Week special. Everything was tasty. Had the Lamb Osso Buco. We never had to pour our own wines. He was always there to service the wine.

    Eli was a very good server. Pink Champagne Cake with Raspberry Sauce was splendid, along with the Caramel Apple Mule. A little too much sodium in the filet/mashed potatoes or maybe it was sprinkled on top. Little chilly inside next to window. Good overall experience.

    Had a business dinner here. Arrived 30 mins late and they didn’t bat an eye. Out server told us right up front he was new but would get us an answer we needed if didn’t know. The pork cheeks and the fried green tomatoes were both exceptional. Each of us had a different entree; pork chop, lamb shank and grouper special and every plate was empty. My gutsy visit there and not my last. All prices were more than fair. Highly recommend.
