    Wonderful southern kitchen restaurant. Food was incredible and Signature Cocktails very unique and fun. But too many to chose just one so would be great if they offered a flight tasting of signature cocktails. As for ambiance, everything was great except the lighting was too bright. We loved the experience so much we recommend the restaurant to a passersby on the sidewalk in our way home!

    Good food. Pleasant waitstaff. Informal, family friendly ambiance. Hard surfaces and amplified live music in small area makes it loud in winter. Ok during nice weather when patio open. Service is slow.
