This place is great, bartender and hostess were great and welcoming. I am new in town and wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Great brunch menu, there was a small wait on food but it was worth it and the bartender was very attentive despite all the incoming orders, such an amazing experience!

I stopped by this gem for brunch on a beautiful Saturday. I was greeted immediately and sat in front of the bar. The service was quick and the food was delicious. I’m a HUGE fan of shrimp and grits and this one was pretty good. It is served with a sunny-side up egg. It was my first time there and I’ll tell ya that I’ll be back to try the many different brunch and drink items! The margarita was made to perfection with Patron. There are so many different kinds of liquor to choose from. You’ll always be able to find your perfect drink.

Love this bar! Stayed in the area for work for about 5 months and this restaurant was quickly
One of my favorites. The pork chop and steak were both good for dinner. The bartenders also created some of the best craft cocktails. Lastly, don’t skip out on the beignets! So good and the come out warm to the table! Great spot for a date night!

Dined here recently. Had the chicken empanadas and brussel sprout appetizers to start. Both were very good. We had the prime burger and fries and pretzel crusted haddock. The burger was very good, made exactly how I asked. The haddock was fried perfect. Since their menu changes. I’m looking forward to stopping in again.

I met an old friend here for dinner. We hardly noticed how slow everything is because we were busy catching up. Our server was very friendly and made it around when he could. But the place was busy. Looking at the menu... There is a lot of stuff. Lot of expensive stuff. I settled on the Haddock Fish and Chips. Which looked pretty good... And the fish had a good cook on it. The breading doesn't taste like much. Maybe I needed more lemons or sauce or something. The fish was also surprisingly lacking in flavor. The chips however were just really over cooked fries. Which had also sat for some amount of time before they were placed under the fish. They were pretty cold. My friend seemed to like his steak and his drinks. I might come back for a drink. But don't think I would choose to eat here again.

Right along the creek, with a nearby parking garage.

We love to come here often! Their food is always of such high quality. Very well presented! I always have the Philly cheesesteak rolls and they are so delicious. I recommend to anyone looking to do a date night!

We didn't eat here but the upstairs lounge is really cool! It's vibey and relaxing. Great for a drink or 2 before you head out to dinner or a night on the town. Great spot for a girls meet up! I look forward to trying the food. The drinks were really good!

Highly, highly recommend. The food was amazing. The Gouda tots, crab dip and the empanadas are musts from the appetizer menu. The service was friendly. Looking forward to eating here again.
