Booked for the Terrace Room and requested a pretty view as we were celebrating my husband’s birthday. I was pleased that the Christmas decor was still in place, and elegantly done. I had read mixed reviews on the food. We started with the Charcuterie, and then scallops for me and salmon for him. Bananas Foster cocktail was perfect. Banoffee Entremet delicious. There was absolutely not one misstep or one item to find fault. All the food was delicious and prepared to our liking. The pace was perfect as we were dining; not gulping food to move onto the next must do. Karen, our server, was solicitous and attentive without being intrusive. She was knowledgeable and made good recommendations. I have a citrus fruits allergy; she verified each item I ordered was “safe”. She even had my husband’s dessert plate decorated with a Happy Birthday! We had a lovely evening and will return again.

Jessica was our server on two separate evenings. She did a great job. The food was great: appetizers — Fried Pickles, Crispy Brussel Sprouts; dinner entrees — Shrimp and Grits, Chicken and Shrimp Jambalaya (Monday special), Fried Catfish with Hoppin’ John and Collards.

Staff was amazing! Went for Christmas Day and was so thankful a place was open for dinner this day! The staff was so attentive and hard working and were very very kind! Thank you so much for giving us a wonderful Christmas Day dinner enjoyed ❤️

It was a long walk to the Ballroom, but the host very helpful, the food was good not great, management was helpful, but our server left us wondering. We rarely so him, when we needed him. My pet peeve is not picking up dirty dishes in a timely manner, he got an “F” for that, see photos.
