The food was SO good! The menu was quite small and everything we ordered seemed like ordinary American dishes—chicken wings, sliders, fries. However, each dish was made to perfection. The flavor was amazing, everything cooked just right! We especially liked the fries with the pickles, sauces, and chicken on top.
This place is on the pricier side but great for a night out with friends or with a date. The servers were extremely kind and the inside had a nice dim lighting and pretty furniture.

Great little restaurant. I recommend reservations. Love the small plate style of eating. Warm squash salad was the favorite. We will order 2 next time.
Baked brie was delicious except our toasts were burned so much we couldn't eat one of them.
Glazed Bisquits were served with cold honey butter which were utterly impossible to spead on a crumbly bisquit so I tried the pimento cheese spread - best I ever had.
Didn't care for the Wild Boar Chili. Kinda dry - like our waiter. Asked my waiter if they had hot tea. He asked me what kind I liked, after listing off maybe 5 different kinds he tells me

Tapas style restaurant. Was recommended to order 2-3 dishes per person because the dishes are appetizer sized, but I honestly think one plate is enough per person.
I was disappointed in the food, especially by the fried chicken wings which were super dry. I enjoyed the beignets and apple pie soft serve. Our server also provided great service.

Good place, great food. Would have liked more items on the menu especially veg items. Overall the food tasted good. Cast iron Brie and pan seared rainbow trout was good. Beignets are delicious. The reason I gave four star is because we had reservations and it rained the whole morning. We repeatedly asked to switch to indoor seating but no one bothered and we had to sit on wet seats.

Interior: super fun and unexpected!
Service: great!
Food: the mushroom toast was bomb 🔥. The kale salad was hiding underneath a thick layer of cheese 😖 and the Mac and cheese had the kind of cheese that you don’t really know if it’s actual real cheese.
Notes: I hope they include more plant based foods on the menu.
