We walked in on a Saturday night around 730 hostess told us she was booked until 930 so we sat at the bar while sitting noticed a number of empty tables so not sure why we were told was booked..this is our second time here, The food is great and consistent, a full dinner is reasonable priced, but the drinks are way overpriced we had 2-3 drinks each the drinks were 70% of the bill..

It was awful. The hostess was unaccomodating and unapologetic.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is always good and consistent. The ambiance is welcoming, and it's such cute inside. Great spot for dinner, celebrating a special occasion or just going to the bar. Once you check this place out, it will definitely become a favorite.

The food is fresh and appetizing! There is a 2 hr. seating minimum and the wait to get your food is very long. It took 45 min. Just for 3 people who only ordered dinner. By the time I wanted dessert I have to leave, managment should address this because I would come more often and order more if there was less of a wait time.

Came here because the food looked very fresh and of quality in the photos; indeed, it was. I had the butter shrimp appetizer with bread which was great dipping in the sauce; per recommendation of the bar tender. Next, I had the burger that comes with an egg on top.

Although this should NOT be the case because of how simple it is… 9 times out of 10, if I ask for an over easy egg at a restaurant, it does not come out with a runny egg. I was very surprised to see the chef did a proper job. I would have taken a picture but I ate it before i could. Burger was good but I liked the fries better actually. The fries could be more crispy but they’re definitely not frozen fries!

Service was very good as well. I will return.

Starting with the positives, food was pretty good & our waiter was very polite & accommodating.

Now the negatives:

-Both hostesses were extremely rude, not even 5 minutes after sitting down they told us we need finish eating by 6 PM. We were seated around 5...

- Floor was sticky as if it hadn't been cleaned or moped. Told the hostesses, but neither one seemed to care.

- The Specials that were offered that night half were out of stock so what's the point in saying them then?

- Men's bathroom smelled like puke, I mean I could understand if this was maybe 11 PM or something but this was 5 PM not even a hour after opening.

Overall unfortunately this was a poor experience despite the good food. Don't think I will come back, hope they can clean up their act.

Excellent meal, the food tasted very fresh and the ambience on the 2nd floor is great.
I had the buttermilk scallops ($40, excellent) and they were so good. I would get them again. We also had the crab tartlette ($16, okay), swordfish special, and creme brulee ($12, very good).
Really enjoyed the farm to table/local ingredients, it does make a difference in taste.
For dinner parking, we had to do the complimentary valet and it worked out well.

Cozy place with seasonal food and drinks. Got the grouper special and it was absolutely delicious along with the goat cheese fritters. The charred pineapple margarita was also really good and our server was awesome.

The food was phenomenal. Our waiter George was spectacular. If I could eat breakfast lunch and dinner here I would! Can't wait to come back! I had the buttermilk baked scallops, Fried burratta. My fiancée had the halibut. Both entrees and appetizer were exceptional. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chocolate mousse finale did it for me! Love this place. Hats off to the chef.

Ooooo love it here! We stopped by for apps and drinks after work. Sat at the bar. Super comfortable. Attentive wait staff. The clams and bread are to die for. I can’t wait to return and run through their menu. I got this Smokey Pineapple margarita and now it is a staple in my home that I’ve tried to dupe. 10/10

The food was fantastic, our waiter Andrew was amazing and the atmosphere was relaxed. My gost cheese and beet salad was enormous and it was the best Beet salad I have ever had. We can't wait to come back. Maybe next week

I wish I could rate this place higher because we've come here about 4-5 times now. Cocktails, cheese board, goat cheese fritters are all excellent. But the entrees can be a bit hit or miss. Chicken artichoke cassoulet is not good, cassoulet should be mostly beans and meat but it was 75% artichokes and felt like a dip more than a meal. Pork belly was too fatty with barely any crisp, and a bit tough to boot. Sandwiches are pretty good though. Thankfully they made parking valet as the lot is often too small for how busy they are.
