Enjoyable atmosphere however the waitstaff is spread thin so it takes a bit to get service. It is possible we had a newer waitress as she wasn't sure how to explain what the carrot souffle was.The food was ok, not good enough to make me say, lets add this place a go to. The pork Chop was dry and the apples that were talked about on the menu were not on the plate and no explanation of why not. The waitress never came back to check until my husband was almost done eating so i didn't bother asking about the apples, i just got a to go box, hoping i could make it better at home The short rib was very tender, which was good so at least my husband had a good meal.Will try other places in the area before going back.

Probably the best salads around. Not sure why.. it was the salad I usually order in most restaurants... Ceasar w/ chicken strips no Caesar dressing. Dining partner had their usual salad... wedge no blue cheese dressing (we tried 4 of their house made dressings between the 2 of us - the honey mustard & 3 of the vinaigrettes). Maybe because all the ingredients were local. Maybe because of the yummy dressings. In any event, my dining partner & I agreed... these were the BEST salads we ever had.Seriously, they could bottle those dressings & make a million dollars! Yummy! Yum!Also had a couple of drinks to start. No room for dessert but will try next time because we are definitely going back.Highly recommend. Friendly staff. Clean. On fun, quaint shopping street. (Parking in back for the staff, don't park there)

My family and I went there to enjoy a night out with the kiddos. The service was decent and we liked the modern mobile view of where we are at on the waitlist. However, when we got seated and saw so many people there we had good expectations. However, the food had so much to be desired. We got the prime rib steak and that was $50 and had no flavor (ask for the salt and pepper because that is the only flavor you will get). Our adult drinks were good but that was the only thing. The hamburgers my kids got, had no flavor. The fries were flavorless without the ketchup (I don’t like ketchup but that was the only way I could eat the fries). We were hopeful to have another place to add to our list of good restaurants in Lincolnton but this isn’t it unfortunately. I walked out spending twice as much as a neighboring restaurant on the other side of the courthouse and it was no where near as good.My wife and I truly do not understand the rave reviews for this place. Must be because people spent so much money they just want to like it to feel better about their expenses.

Everything was delicious. The bone in pork got better with every bite. We'll definitely be back.

Friendly, cute place in Lincolnton. We had a Bloody Mary, mimosa, friend chicken sandwich and BLT. Everything was high quality and well prepared.
Fantastic food and atmosphere. My 12oz NY strip steak was perfectly cooked and delicious! Draft beer selection was fairly limited and no bottled Heineken nor Stella. Bread was meager. Team servers.

We came from Gastonia to try this restaurant and definitely wasn’t disappointed. Our dinner was the best meal in a restaurant that we have had in a really long time. The service was fabulous. Our waitress was super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. From the appetizers to the dessert and everything in between it was a great meal. Most definitely will go back.
