We passed other chain steakhouses to eat local food. Google was wrong. This is not a steakhouse. A “happy accident” I guess. Food was good.They have a very limited menu. Servings were on the small size for the price but we were satisfied overall with the meal. WouldI go here again if we were in the area? Not sure. Service was fine. Overall it was a good experience.

The duck frite chicken was good but I wasn't into the taste of the blanched collard greens. The cocktails we ordered weren't worth the price. I was not a fan.

I had the summer pasta and my partner had the fried chicken, both were cooked perfectly and seasoned expertly. We also had the date appetizers and they were so unique butdelicious! Cocktails were interesting and had good flavor. The waiter was also so friendly and had great timing. He didn’thover over us but also was available when we wanted to order more. Great experience and I can’t wait to come back.
