    The service was amazing but we were underwhelmed by the food. Our crab cake appetizer was partially frozen in the middle, but was very tasty and the accompanying micro greens were so delicious. Get this but make sure it’s cooked all the way through. the greens were spicy but lacked flavor - maybe because they’re vegan, but they were edible. Nothing could be done to save the baked beans and the potato salad. Rarely do I leave food, but these two were left. We ordered the pork ribs and the chicken dinner. It was just ok although I thought the ribs were fatty and the quarter chicken piece was incredibly small. The corn was a hit but being out of season, it was small too. The Mac n cheese was good but I ordered it with the bbq on the side. Service 10/10. Food was a 6/10. Still we had such a pleasant experience, that we’d be back. We would order the corn, Mac, and crab cake again. Willing to give them another try

    Menu selections are great. Our food was very good. However, after we were seated, it took 20 minutes to get beverages and place our order. The food arrived very late - 50 minutes after we placed the order. And it was not very busy. Two other tables walked out after 45 minute wait fir their meals.

    We left after waiting 2 hours for our meals . We tried to be patient but 2 hours is ridiculously to long for anyone. The waiter said our food was coming but another 20 mins passed with no food. Very disappointed
