You can’t go wrong with anything at Nightingale’s. Buttermilk fried chicken and the brussel sprouts are divine! So much more to try!

Anika was the best server I have ever had. I’d rather never go to another restaurant again than be served by anyone else. She is a queen, a mentor, a vision. I couldn’t have dreamed up service like this if heaven brought down servers and gave them to me at a nice restaurant. The timing was impeccable and Anika deserves a raise of at least 69% PER YEAR. This feels like it’s almost too much, but it’s not. If i met Anika in a dream, I’d wish it was real life.

Portions have gotten smaller for some of the dishes - we ordered 2 desserts, waited 20 minutes never arrived so cancelled them. This trip was not up to their usual high standards
