   This is one of our favorite gems! The food is always outstanding and the best flavors. We had the french toast with fresh whipped cream (for the table) and everyone wanted the whole thing to themselves. The waffle had a great texture and the syrup was like icing on the cake! The bacon scramble and the wild mushroom scramble were both excellent. The biscuit and gravy was scrumptious (ask for extra gravy because it is so good) The eggs benedict did not disappoint either. The surprise trophy went to the Huevos Rancheros which was an amazing blend of flavors that you won't forget! The menu is loaded with dishes and can be overwhelming, but anything you choose is just delicious. We will be back again and again. Love this place!

   Cool beach vibe with southern food menu such as shrimp and grits or Mac and cheese with side of collard greens

   This was our first time dining here and we enjoyed our experience. This is a cute and quaint restaurant with friendly staff, located on a quiet street in Newport Beach. Parking is on the street or in a nearby lot. We made reservations but decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was eager and enthusiastic to answer our menu questions. The fried green tomatoes as an appetizer are delicious. For dinner we had the ribs, super delicious, the meat fell off the bone. We also enjoyed the grilled Jidori chicken wrap, it was yummy too. The southern flair menu is unique with many options. This place is now on our repeat list.

   Surprise find for a 6:30 res on Valentines' - that it was one of the only places with a decent time available was a bit of worry - but to our surprise it's a gem! Seated immediately and server Hailey was prompt in greeting and getting drink and starter orders. Fixed menu with multiple options for each course - we opted for the Fried Green tomatoes shared app (tasty and not greasy). Wife had the pear & goat cheese salad and I chose the lobster chowder. Salad was delicious and the chowder had just enough lobster in a rich, creamy broth. I chose the Blackened Molasses Salmon for the main, it was fantastic. Great seasoning and buttery soft. Wife had the Filet, cooked perfectly medium and a sizeable piece to boot. We did make the mistake of ordering both deserts and were presented with a towering slice of Mississippi Mud Pie and a Jumbleberry Shortcake that was a perfect southern biscuit absolutely loaded with fresh berries. We managed to tackle about half the pie and took the shortcake home after just a few bites to enjoy later. Service during was a bit spotty - app came same time as salad/soup instead of before and we weren't quite finished with starters when entree's arrived - and it took a while to get a cup of coffee with desert, but left us time to chat about the local food scene with a neighboring table. Left talking about coming back to check out a breakfast in the near future!

   Charming. Consistent, reliable and always great eats. Terrific service, nice people and willing to go the extra mile for their patrons. Can’t say enough good things, if you haven’t been breakfast, brunch, dinner…. Just do it, you won’t be disappointed!
