The atmosphere is fun and quirky. The staff is well-trained and very knowledgeable about the wine and entrees. Even if you are not a 'meat ' eater, you will find wonderful options.

We never went without water and she was very helpful with the many questions we had. Steak Tartare; It was veryflavorful but on the edge of salty. Detailed breakdown of our dinner below; Okra Salad; They we’re not overly breadedallowing the Okra flavor to come through. The Pimiento Cheese pairing was nice. It doesn’t need the greens but they don’thurt the dish. Bison Short Rib; Very much “fall of the bone” if you haven’t had bison short rib it isn’t quite likepork but has a slightly firmer texture. The flavors on the rib were great, the garlic mashed potatoes also hit the spot, theyhad small pieces of potato in them that added nice texture. The vegetables were definitely undercooked (the other plate at thetable had more appropriately cooked vegetables), so a slight disappointment there. Emu Filet; Great flavors all around (lovedthe sauce) and a very nice cook on the Emu as well. It’s very interesting for bird meat to be so similar to steak, sosomething I would recommend trying. Blue Mac; Great! If you don’t like Blue Cheese you won’t like it but if you do you’lllove it! Lemon and Blueberry Bar; It was good but order the Bourbon Bread Pudding lol. Last but not least the Bourbon BreadPudding; They have been making it for 20 years and it shows. A great bread pudding that I won’t spoil but would (strongly)recommend you get. Good buy and have a good dinner?????
