    My family and I enjoyed having brunch here over the holiday season. Our server was excellent. The brunch menu is a bit limited and there are items on the menu that aren’t bunch specific and an applicable alternative would have been nice. Lastly, the macaroni and cheese recipe MUST be changed, it is horrible, from the bread crumbs on top to the cheese sauce, please revise or remove this from the menu. I would recommend this place but not the macaroni and cheese.

    Our third time dining there and was a good experience, a little slow on service but I’m sure due to holiday staffing, but the available staff really worked together. The deviled eggs were delicious and I enjoyed the shrimp & grits with a fried egg on top.
