I had a fantastic experience here. Our server was amazing, food came out timely, and everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. The cornbread skillet alone is enough to bring me back again lol

Service was slow and they didn’t have a full restaurant. When some of the food did come out it was cold. We all had to pretty much sit there with our coats on for most of the meal because it was so cold in there. It was a very bad experience for my Mom’s 78th Bday. It’s was 5 of us and sorry to say that will be the last $300 Waris Will every get from my family.

This was my first time dining here, my husband and I both enjoyed our meal. The lobster roll was to die for, salmon tartare was delicious, the crab dip was great, and we had a few sides which were all delicious. Will be dining again!

Overall, it was a nice brunch. We went there after church. I thought they had gospel music, but it sounded like bluegrass jazz. However, the atmosphere was nice, and the food was good.
