We really enjoyed the personal attention given to our table by the trio. Entrees were delicious, the carpaccio maybe the best I’d ever had. Our 92-year old guest, who had never had shrimp n grits before, thoroughly enjoyed them, with barely enough left for a light lunch tomorrow!

Food and service were divine ! Our server, Kelly, was as excited as we were to be there…doting over us with cocktails, appetizers, main course, and dessert drinks. Phenomenal food, atmosphere, and service from the valet all the way to the night club where we listened to a jazz trio.

The Sunday Jazz brunch was a fun way to spend a birthday. The food was excellent, the service friendly and the jazz was fun to listen to but it did inhibit conversation a little bit. We're already planning our next visit.
