    A late lunch for four. As always, attentive service and a good crab salad for lunch. Crepes only ordinary. Fine ambience for a good talk with friends.

    We had a lovely dinner with deliciously flavorful food. For starters, we selected the Fried Green Tomatoes— a nice combination of tanginess and spice. We ordered the Fish Fry with the accompanying Mac and Cheese and Collard Greens for the main entree. Our server, Rick was very pleasant and genuinely kind. Not only was he attentive, but knowledgeable about the menu items as well.
