    New Year brunch - the food was just okay. The quiche was pretty good, the bacon was not cooked on one side. The shrimp and grits were okay. I think the muffins were purchased at Sams. The server was polite when she greeted us and pointed out the self-service coffee and tea. We didn’t see her again until she brought the check. I’m not saying it was bad but it wasn’t worth $35 a person. If it had been about $20 I would have thought it was fairly priced for the selection of food.

    We had brunch. The unique French toast was the best I have ever had. The hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict was amazing. The view over the river wall is always rewarding.

    As a starter, we had the shrimp and andouille toast, and it was delicious. I had the potato soup and my husband had the Wedge salad— very good! We split the filet and frites + Brussels sprouts… excellent! Also, great wine and cocktails, and our server, Jamie, was top-notch ⭐️!
