“ The Caesar salad and bone-in pork chop with cheddar polenta were absolutely delicious. The flavor combinations in the pork dish were out of this world, especially the combination of sweetness from the peach chutney and saltiness from the polenta and Brussels sprouts with bacon - just a very satisfying plate of food. The service was equally outstanding, with our waitress graciously accommodating us when I did something I try to never do, sending back a previous dish that I wasn’t satisfied with. I never like to insult the efforts of a talented chef, which is why it pained me to do that, but the replacement dish was outstanding and warrants a five-star review. All in all, I would definitely come back here. ”
“ I won the Tuesday trivia question so received a 25 dollar gift card and decided to check it out for happy hour! Everything was AMAZING— we got the pesto flatbread, sliders, and smashburger. Chef Davis and his team truly did rock it, the food the service and the vibe were all there! Will definitely be back!! ”
“ Absolutely loved our dinner on the patio. The food was amazing, flavorful, and healthy. I will Absolutely be back. The service was excellent and our server was both playful and managed her time effectively. Ive had the house burger, pork chops, and Filipino chicken. ”
“ If you want a fresh meal made to order with local ingredients, look no further. The food is phenomenal, the pimento smash burger is absolutely delicious. I used to have to drive down to Boston to get my smash burgers but the local eatery knows exactly how to make them to a T! The salad also has very fresh ingredients. The staff were also super friendly and the vibe is very quaint and intimate ambiance. 10/10 highly recommend! ”
“ I absolutely love this place. The food is fantastic, and the oyster deal is amazing even though you normally have to call ahead if you want a lot on the day with the deal. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and the drinks are inspired. I recommend this place to my friends and family often, which really speaks to how highly I regard this eatery. ”
“ An absolute gem, hidden in a small town. Local, farm to table fare in an upscale, cozy environment. Every meal is amazing. Menu constantly changes based on what's seasonal and available. Chef is experimental and exciting. Cocktails are delicious, with a good beer and wine selection. Service is always top tier. It is consistently an excellent dining experience. ”
“ Delicious food, great menu and the nicest staff! They accommodated our large group and provided great service. We ordered multiple appetizers, different salads and main courses and everything was delicious. The Oklahoma Smash Burger was amazing! ”
“ All around a great experience. We arrived early (at opening) and asked for a table. They cheerfully welcomed us in (even though, as we watched later, most were asked about reservations). Enjoyed the attentive service, haddock bites, Arctic Char, beignets, bread, and more. Being new to the area, our server explained the special night, the venue across the street, and the history of the restaurant. We were not rushed at all, although watched while others ate and left on their quick schedule. Definitely would return. ”
