First time the wife and I have been here. Our server Cassandra was an absolute Rockstar, especially for as busy as it was. Food was stellar. Definitely will be back
Had a wonderful dinner tonight. Due to the dropping of temperatures, the restaurant went far beyond what I expected. They informed us that the outside covered seating may be cooler than expected so we could decide to try it. The fireplace was roaring, the heaters were providing leg heat but then they gave each of us a soft blanket for our laps! We were very comfortable and appreciated their over and beyond customer service! As always, the food was delicious!
Amazing!!! This place was a diamond in the rough. Great portions, excellent food. The spinach dip was amazing. The sweet potato fries with marshmallow dip.... Great service. They bring you your ticket in romance novel.
Great brunch spot in Anchorage. Came the Sunday after Valentine's and was seated promptly. I hade the biscuits & gravy which were wonderful. My GF oredered the chicken & waffles, also exceptional. However, the Goats Cheese Gateau app was truly special. Highly recommended...
Stopped in for an early dinner, the place is nice on the inside and out. The menu has good food and drink options. Wife had a cheese app that was very good and I had the salmon. The food was delicious.
We've eaten here at least 6 times and the food has always been fantastic. The braised short rib is always tender and flavorful. The pork chop has been cooked perfectly and is delicious paired with the mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. The hotter brown is a unique take on the KY hot brown and I was delightfully surprised at how good it actually was since so many places make a hot brown or have their take on the hot brown and they just aren't good. The last recommendation is the shrimp and grits. We've got it at least 3 times and it's always perfect. Oh and the crab cake appetizer is always delicious with avocado aioli. The only bad thing we've gotten is the fish and chips. The portion was small for $25 and even our waited said the portion was normally quite a bit larger than the portion we got. The two hush puppies were the size of a quarter. The fries were good but that tartar sauce is home made and was so delicious. The food is pricey but almost always worth it!
I knew it was going to be special as soon as we walked in. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. We were greeted with a champagne toast and taken to our table. The seasonal cocktails were fantastic. I had the brown sugar old fashioned and it was well balanced and delicious. The green chili wonton appetizers were so delicious! I’ve never had them before- but you can bet I’ll definitely have them again. What a treat! The pretzel charcuterie board was another big hit with the group. There was quite a few dining in our group- the server, Jenna, was just amazing! She was so friendly. She got every order out quickly and without one problem…and with such a big group- it was amazing. She was the best! It was my first time dining here, but absolutely not my last!
Took my bestfriend here for her last weekend as a free woman before she got married. This is a amazing place to celebrate 🥳. The atmosphere was wonderful and our server was outstanding. The food was even better just know when you go the food is expensive but worth every penny. We got an 1 appetizer and 2 drinks and 2 entrees and 3 desserts and 2 sides with tip it came to $200.
We visited without a reservation on a Saturday night, but luckily were able to get seats at the downstairs bar. It had such a cozy vibe! We didn’t have to wait long for our food, which we really enjoyed — the fish and chips especially was good. Overall I’d definitely recommend this place for some comforting Southern cuisine!
Excellent service, and very good food, here! The green wontons, fish tacos, and fried Derby Pie were all delicious. If you are unsure about what to order, the staff tends to make great recommendations. Can't wait to go back!
