It’s a very open space. They have a nice bar and sits on the corner in Southend. There is street parking and a garage nearby. Price points were fair. Service was timely and food arrived fresh. Everything taste great. We had the 2 if by land, single pancake, and the hash. We also had carafe mimosas which they provided self pour with a selection of juice. We enjoyed our brunch and look forward to returning!

We had a reservation, but due to it being cooler outside, we were seated inside. It took an additional 15-20 minutes before we were seated. The service from the waiter was a little lack-luster, she didn't check in on us and kept forgetting to bring requests. However, overall this is an Excellent choice for brunch.

Our waitress was very sweet and efficient. Our food and drinks came quickly. The shrimp and grits were amazing! The TN potatoes were some of the best home fries I ever had. 10/10 would recommend.
