    The decor of the new building was beautiful, service was on point. I don't drink but I tried a few of the mocktails and they were incredible, not an afterthought. The Halibut was 10/10 and the sweet potato cakes are can't miss.

    The new location was beautifully designed and built! The food was delicious, service was excellent and the valet added an extra touch to the experience. The bacon in a glass appetizer is heaven, seared halibut is the best fish entree I’ve ever had. We tried the pot pie and it just hit the spot as comfort food. Overall great experience and we will be back soon!

    I'm thinking they must be trying new menu items for the new restaurant. Wanted Shrimp and Grits but no longer available. Our server, Josh, was excellent! Very personable. He took very good care of us. I still hate that you're closing this location. I won't be going to the new location.

    Thank you, Joan! We're so glad Josh took great care of you all. We'll make sure he knows. We know change is hard, and we'll miss this location too, but we're pouring a lot of love into the new one and hope you'll give it a chance to become your new favorite spot.

    Ethan did a good job suggesting drinks and gave attentive service. Food was tasty and it was nice to be able to share the donuts for dessert. Good choice after a filling meal. Will visit again!

    Menu had changed a bit, leaving off options that we enjoyed. Service was not as great a normal. I love this restaurant but definitely was not as good as in the past.
