    One of the best meals we have had in forever. Farm to table meets creative southern flair. Excellent service and food. Loved! Everything - all the tastes and flavor pairings were well thought out and creative. Loved Speakeasy plaid rabbit and bartender Mitch- creative cocktails. Sat at bar and watched the show. Open kitchen - so cool to watch your dish being made. Loved our waiter Kyle and got to meet Chef Lance- a treat!!What a gem in downtown Tyler. Make reservations now and go! Run don’t walk.
