The wait was about two hours when my party first tried to get in, which was completely understandable, so we waited. The staff were very friendly and polite and the restaurant looked and smelled amazing. I got the steak and French onion soup. Though the food was delicious, my steak was underdone quite a bit. However, I’m not sure if I have ever had a better French onion soup. Despite the underdone steak, I had a great experience and left satisfied!

Walked in and after a moment was told they’re closed, so our friend joked “oh, should I close the door?” And we left. After a minute of waiting on the sidewalk to cross the street outside, a stocky ginger man comes outside “hey buddy, you know we’re cleaning so the door is open.” Unnecessary. Came outside two minutes later just to tell us this, and that doesn’t even make sense.? Door is open so obviously that means closed and cleaning. Embarrassing on his behalf as we’re with locals who go to this bar frequently. Had a tone of looking for a fight; completely unprofessional

I felt as though I was visiting family...all of the staff were genuinely kind. I ordered the Maryland crab cakes Benedict...it was perfect. I enjoyed the home fries, and I loved the poached eggs, which I am typically not a fan of because they're usually not the texture that I prefer, but these poached eggs were perfect (I mean not soft and slimy). The crab cakes were more crab (real crab) than breading. Nothing was too greasy, not even the home fries. The spinach on the eggs Benedict was sauteed with the perfect amount of seasoning, it wasn't too salty and it didn't lack flavor. The cocktails were definitely worth it! I had a bloody Mary, and my mom had a margarita which I tried, and it's not watered down. I believe that my nephew had mimosas...three of them lol. It was the best dining experience I've had in years. I just moved back from Atlanta, glad to get great food and be treated as a guest.

The food was really good. I got a burger with sweet potato fries and their french onion soup. All of it was amazing. Our waitress was very nice and attentive.Only cons was there's not a kids menu. This is a nicer restaurant were I normally wouldn't bring my kids but we were having dinner with out of town family. Thankfully they did have chicken tenders on the appetizer menu. The other con is they are on the slower side. We did have 9 so I can understand that but even with the soups and salad it did take a while to receive and only a few of us got them. Also I've been before with my husband and thought the same, that they were on the slower side. So prepare for a long dinner.
