If you love eating fried breading and bacon in a wrap , this is great because they forgot the chicken in the chicken wrap. We waited for over an hour for two wraps!! Slow service and terrible food. The sweet potato fries were tasty.

My husband and I have booked a reservation for a date night. We arrived to a nice environment and were seated immediately. Our waitress Shelby was very kind and friendly. The drinks were delicious. When it came time to order the appetizer we wanted we were told it was sold out-mind you it was 745 PM on a Friday night. We ordered a salad instead, and when we requested our entrées, we were told they were sold out as well. Turns out five of their main items on the menu were already sold out. We opted for other choices. The food was tasty, but the portions were small for the price. When my salad came, it had no dressing with it. I requested the balsamic that it was supposed to have according to the menu and was told they were out of that as well.  Really? What restaurant doesn’t have balsamic salad dressing? when it came time for dessert, we ordered the peach cobbler, which was really just a crushed granola bar with some warmed canned peaches on top and a couple squirts of whipped cream. Then we got the bill which had a $23 service charge already on it. I inquired of the waitress what that was and she told me it was an automatic gratuity. Needless to say we won’t be going back!

The environment was comfortable and intimate. We sat in the main dining room with a perfect view. The service was top tier, Ally was so sweet and kind and was sure to embrace our special dinner. The food was also really yummy, fresh and worth every dime. Thanks for a great meal.

Waited 45 min to get everyone's food but mine. Waited another 15 min to receive mine, therefore everyone else was done eating by time I started eating. The mushroom flatbread that I ordered was dry and over done. I am hoping this was just a fluke because we have high hopes for their dinner menu.
