The pork rind fried chicken was amazing. Really tremendous flavor. The collard greens, Mac and cheese, and corn bread were also very good.

Dishonest menu and overpriced. Several of us ordered the half chicken and received two full wings, a thigh, and what looks like a mystery piece of white meat hacked off of a breast. A half chicken means half a chicken, not four pieces of whatever you feel like. Honestly an insulting practice.

The food was superb and prepared fresh and was punctual to the table after appetizers were served. Our server was knowledgeable about drink pairings that complimented our dinner choices and I was more than gracious. My only let down was I haven’t been able to return as much as I would like, but I will say that you won’t regret ever stopping by for fine cuisine, a wonderful establishment and caring staff.

Ate solo at the bar on a business trip. Staff was excellent, food was delicious. Nice selection of drinks, including local drafts. Highly recommend the scallops and mushroom risotto. If I ever find myself in Gainesville again, I will be back.

Good food and drinks, but Attention: your bill already includes a 12% gratuity, which is not acknowledged unless you see it written on your receipt. I ended up paying a 27% tip for a less than stellar service. I'm disappointed!

This is a great place to visit. The food was cooked perfectly, we had shrimp and grits and the fish and chips. The drinks were amazing and the ice cream chocolate pie was a fantastic dessert. Definitely coming back!

Service, food quality and prices all 5 stars. Always take a picture of the specials written on the chalk board up front because that's the way to go! However, the pork rind chicken is great if you want to take half home for leftovers!

It was said to be an old restaurant in Gainesville. The tuna(?) crackers I ate as an appetizer were delicious, and the western food, shrimp & grits, was also delicious. The dessert was a pie fried in oil and filled with chocolate syrup. The taste was so shocking and reminiscent of an American dessert that I was surprised. Coconut cake was delicious

It’s like it’s a fake restaurant. Ordered through DoorDash, food never came and restaurant never answered the phone.

We had a great meal, exceptional service, and quality drinks during our visit to Gainesville. The salmon dip was the best “fish dip” I’ve had in a decade. Seasoned vegetables were cooked well and the cole slaw tasted fresh.

Not kid friendly. Food was not enjoyable to my kids. Has some off the cuff menu items.
