★★★★☆ 4.0 Britt Harrison · Oct 2025

We came in on the off season and just before dinner. We were greeted immediately and were seated immediately. Our food we received was flavorful. We w we really immediately impressed. I had the salad with a chicken add on. The salad I had was very flavorful, the corn added a touch of coolness, which I liked. My partner had the jalapeño burger with truffle fries, the fries were surprisingly flavorful as well. If you want a good meal at a good price, thisbis the place to come.

Outstanding place to eat! I highly recommend eating here, if you are in the area. We went on a Friday evening in August. It was busy. We sat at the bar until our table was ready. Service and atmosphere were great! I had the Pimento Cheese Burger with Truffle Fries. Both were outstanding. My wife got a salad and the Brussel Chips. Again, outstanding! Warning, everything had a little bit of a kick (spicy), but was great!

Really nice restaurant with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The old wood and brick really add to the ambience and the overall food experience. They offer quality, inspired dishes that do not disappoint. I'd recommend some dishes, but it's best to try what looks good to you... They have something for everybody. The bartenders definitely know how to make a nice drink, including many classic cocktails. Highly recommended.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and service was swift and attentive. Makenna, our server, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and on top of everything. I started with the Peach Bees Knees cocktail, made with gin, a peach liqueur, and honey simple syrup. It was absolute perfection. The gin’s strong bite was hidden under a perfectly balanced mix of flavors—neither too sweet nor too strong. I enjoyed it so much that I drank it quicker than expected and wanted to order a second, but our meals arrived so promptly that I decided to hold off (I personally prefer not to drink cocktails alongside my entrée). For our appetizer, my friend and I shared the Ahi Tuna Nachos. The freshness of the tuna surprised me, especially considering we weren’t near the coast. Served on large, crisp wonton

Filet was so dry and so was the Jamaican me crazy pork , it was like they were boiled, dont waste your time go straight for the ahi tuna nachos, we got 2 orders the rest of it was awful. 45 dollars for the Filet was terrible deal please do not waste your money. Old fashioned and bees knees were good. Definitely not worth 165 dollars.
