It's a really nice place to go with a few friends for a drink and light fare. The service is excellent, and the building is nice and clean as well.

"Ruffles have Ridges" misadvertised as 'kettle chips', I had hoped were house made. One basket of these with beer cheese appetizer plus more as a side to my brisket sliders... my stomach hurts so bad while I'm posting this review the morning after.Adorable hole in the wall Eatery and outdoor string light corn hole play area, desperately needed in Palmetto.However, my bloated gut stomach pain diarrhea and the one hundred dollars later make me rethink returning. ( two people, one drink each, one appetizer each, one entree each.)Limited portion size Plus underwhelming quality plus overpriced... I would love it to stay open and see some improvements so please keep coming here and give them honest feedback.

I went there last night with 3 friends. It was the first time there for all of us. The food was good, but service was very slow. We had 2 orders of the classic quesadilla and one person ordered their lettuce wraps. It took an hour for us to get our food. I would go back there for drinks, but not to eat.

We stopped in here for the first time and it won't be our last. It was a limited menu but even with that both of us had amazing flatbreads that both had amazing flavors. The service was great.

Really good cocktails and yummy small bites in a very cozy, low key atmosphere. The only negative is their hours - they close at 10pm on Saturday. It would be such a great place to hang and sip if they stayed open even to midnight.

After driving by this place for six months, I finally decided this past Saturday to give it a try with my husband. We loved the outside area with the lights and the inside was quaint. We did not get the best service though. We went to the bar and ordered drinks but decided to go outside. The bartender said she would check on us. About 20 minutes later she came outside to one table but not ours. My husband had to go inside to order more drinks. We thought maybe she would get the clue that we needed service outside. Nope she didn't and it wasn't because she was busy. There was probably 10 people in the entire place when we arrived. We go back inside and ask the bartender along with a blonde woman standing at the entrance if people get served outside. The bartender said yes so I asked why didn't we get served. She said "she didn't know." I asked the blonde woman if she was the owner and she said "yes.". At this point, it was just us and one other couple in the entire place. Why isn't she telling her staff how to work properly or help out? The owner and bartender were talking to the other couple. This place could be awesome but the lack of service will be the death of this place. We were there for about one and a half hours and was served only when we went to the bar. The real owner needs to show up. Place was dead but still unable to get adequate service.

Food has been wonderful beforeThe WAITER was not good ☹️Haven't been here in a few months and was very disappointed?And we sat without acknowledgment for minutes......And only one other occupied table with 2 ppl.....Although the bar was full and three people were behind it.....(it's not that big)First, I was amazed at the time it took to get a menu...(previous visits were very different.It's always been quite good.However, this time was very disappointing...the pasta fagioli was very thin, liquidy, and waiter not listening (specifically ordered the fagioli to be brought with my meal) not with the appetizersJust a very different experience this time...
