    Food was probably the best I’ve had in Virginia. Everything was super flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and exceptionally well cooked. The service was also fantastic and the ambiance was top notch. We dined here for a birthday and the staff also made several small gestures to make the dinner feel extra special for the birthday individual. Would definitely be back for a special occasion dining experience.

    I had the best time here! We did have to wait 40 min with a reservation but it was well worth the wait. The food was so good I ordered the catfish with Macaroni and cheese and greens and also the chicken and waffles and the wild berry lemon drop! The kitchen and the kocktails were on point. The staff and manager were so nice one of the main reasons I had to leave a review. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

    With the exception of one Thanksgiving dish, the food was great. When we commented on the dish, the manager removed the cost from the check. Family members ordered other than Thanksgiving items and were very pleased. We ordered several take out dishes and it is true….BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER!! Enjoy.
