Although the food was good, the servers were good, I have a big problem with the management. My one and a half year experience old grandson was sitting in one of their high chairs when the high chair broke. Baby fell to the floor, hit his head and manager’s didn’t seem to care.

Just ordered a simple old fashion that had the same ingredients (actually less) than their Peach old fashion and was charged $6 more and the cocktail was not good at all. Too much sweetness, too strong orange notes, bartender not mixologist, doesn’t know what they are doing except having a stuck up attitude. Never again.

Great service, delicious food, and a lovely atmosphere.
Our server did a great job pacing our meal so we were not rushed, and the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed.
Our favorites were the crab in butter, fish dip, shrub drink, and chocolate cake. Least favorite was the okra, but it was still pretty good. I was really impressed with the portion size, and everything went well together.
Parking is a challenge, but if you’re on South Congress already I highly recommend stopping in.
