    We had a lovely dinner with deliciously flavorful food. For starters, we selected the Fried Green Tomatoes— a nice combination of tanginess and spice. We ordered the Fish Fry with the accompanying Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens for the main entree. Our server, Rick was very pleasant and genuinely kind. Not only was he attentive, but knowledgeable about the menu items as well.

    It was an amazing experience. The service was excellent. The staff were attentive .  the food was outstanding. The general manager visited our table welcome us to the restaurant, and as we left, took us on a special tour to addition to the restaurant . The creamery next-door where ice-cream is home made. Many flavors to choose from if you have the opportunity to go you must go. It’s a place where you can dress up or dress down and still enjoy the ambience.

    Uchi is our special occasion dinner or date night. We love the variety of options (plenty of vegetarian options) and service is always top notch. I like to come during happy hour so that I can order from both happy hour and dinner menu. Linda is my favorite server! She makes really great recommendations and we always have the best dining experience with Linda. Will see you again soon!
