Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday with the family. We did make a reservation. The food was excellent. I got the grouper, and my husband got the grilled chicken. My mom got the shrimp, and my dad got the pork chops. Everything was excellent, and the salad bar was incredible. They have one of the freshest salad bars I've ever seen with so many tasty toppings for your salad. Service was top notch, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Can't wait to come back! It is pricey, but the food is worth the price in my opinion.

I'm here for my first time just for dessert and a drink and both the Strawberry Basil Rum Smash and Tiramisu were amazing! My service was top notch and I can't wait to come back for dinner, the menu looks great!

The fact I haven't been here before now blows my mind! We stopped in around 630 on Wednesday and I will say, the place looked closed but don't let that deter you. We walked up and were immediately greeted and seated. I ordered an apple pie cocktail (this is a must order) to start and they brought a basket of rolls. The rolls were so soft and fluffy! I know people talk about roadhouse rolls but these are definitely right up there with them! And they came with this cinnamon butter that was incredible. I may have eaten the other half of my boyfriends roll. He ordered a steak topped with Asiago and mushrooms while I ordered the new Orleans salmon. The steak was so incredibly tender. It basically melted in your mouth. My only slight disappointment was the alfredo sauce for the salmon was broken and a little lumpy. The flavor was on point but I would have preferred a non-broken alfredo sauce. This is now one of my favorite steakhouses and I'll definitely be returning in the future!

This was our first time here and we are so pleased we picked this place. The waiter Jared was beyond nice and super helpful. The food was amazing. We had a party of 7 and everyone loved their dish! I would highly recommend this place.

The local beer was very good. Wife loved her lemon drop. Calamari was good. Larger pieces were rubbery. The griiled grouper was great. I topped it with mushrooms , onions , and asiago cheese . Flavors blended very well with the garlic rice. The shrimp and gritts were very creamy and tasty. It was loaded with shrimp. We did not care for the crispy brussel sprouts. Tasted like they were steamed or blanched first. Salad bar was very impressive. Finished off the night with a piece of teramasu. Was very creamy and tasty. Service was awesome. Will be going back.

We just ate here yesterday and let me start by saying our waiter Jarrod (hope I'm spelling it right!) Was absolutely AMAZING! He was kind, funny and on point at all times. I was a little skeptical when I walked in because it had a very basic layout and vibe. And saw that the restaurant was only established in 2022. But once the food came it literally shut us all up. The steak was 10/10 one of the best I've had in years. The trio appetizer absolutely worth it. We will definitely be going again soon!

Went on a whim for date night, and could not have been more impressed. The atmosphere was wonderful, the waitress was fantastic, and the food could not have been any better. We loved every aspect, and enjoyed the self serve salad bar. My husband ordered the filet mignon and I ordered the ribeye- both perfection! We didn’t have any room for dessert because we were stuffed, but we did order dessert to go….and let me tell you, that was even fantastic several hours after when we got home and had “room”. We will definitely be back, and recommend this place to all!!!

Much better than we expected. The food overall was good. The calamari was great and so was the 12 oz ribeye steak. Would probably recommend the salmon with the jumbo shrimp over the New Orleans-style salmon. I think the bourbon glaze may have dried it out a bit. Taste was good though, just not as flaky as I would have liked. Best tiramisu I have ever had and the coffee pairing was fantastic. The waiter, Jared, was great with recommendations that were spot on. Excellent many knowledge.
