So, so wonderful. Everything was absolutely delicious. I’ve never had biscuits like the ones that were served tonight. Every course was a beautiful and scrumptious surprise. Atmosphere was comfortably elegant. And the owner was so kind. We hope to visit again soon.

My dad and I went a few days ago and I thought it was great! We admittedly came pretty late and close to closing but the owner (I think that’s who he was?) had let us come in anyways so that was already very kind of him. Since it was late there weren’t many other people there so it was easy to get seated lol. The owner had been our server for the night as well and he was great, I’d say. He was nice and brought us everything we asked for and checked in to see if we liked...
