    Everything was great. Minor criticism is to maybe diversify the menu a little more? Fried chicken, meatloaf, steak, and shrimp and grits are all familiar standards.

    Great staff, bar and restaurant. Amazing food with local southern style… Great veg options and craft cocktails and some great wines. Had a bottle of Chard from a vineyard in Charlottesville that was excellent and we aren’t normally Chard drinkers. Nice place with great vibe made for a great night. Thanks to Mel and Monet and Jeremy and Brandon. We’ll be back whenever we are in the area. 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽

    Outstanding food--some of the appetizers were, at least in my experience, unique. The drinks were as good and maybe better than any I've ever had. The waitress was knowledgable and truly helpful. A great experience; we'll go back.

    We had reservations at 6:45, went to the host table, and were seated immediately. Unfortunately, that was the only good thing about this experience. Once seated, we waited for our waiter, and no one ever came. We watched other people get seated and ordered and received drinks. We left around 7:20 without anyone ever coming to get our drink order. I'm not sure if the host forgot to tell our waiter or if they were short-staffed, but a hello would have been nice.

    Have gone twice now and overall the place is very good. Cocktails are creative and well done. The appetizers, particularly the eggplant and lionsmane dishes were excellent. The entrees were all excellent as well with attentive and quick service overall.
