Reviews
The décor has a charming, Southern-inspired feel with a modern twist stylish but still cozy. It’s the kind of place that feels lively and energetic while still being comfortable enough to sit and enjoy a long meal. Whether you’re going for brunch with friends or dinner for a special occasion, the atmosphere really sets the tone.
As for the food, it was okay overall. Everything was presented nicely and came out in a timely manner, but the flavors didn’t quite stand out as much as I expected. Nothing was bad by any means it just didn’t quite match the high bar set by the service and vibe.
That said the experience as a whole was positive. The combination of great service and a beautiful atmosphere makes it worth a visit and I’d definitely consider coming back especially to try a few different menu items next time.
The atmosphere is great! Service was very attentive and the server was very informative. The menu has a great variety of options. We heard great things about the food, and maybe that set the bar too high for what we were expecting.
We enjoyed our time, but the food did not stand out. We all felt like the seasoning was on the weak side.
We will return.
We started with the fried green tomatoes and biscuits, both of which were delicious. Our drinks were excellent as well, and I appreciated that they offered some great mocktail options. For the main course, I ordered the chicken and waffles, the coffee-infused syrup gave it a unique and flavorful twist that I really enjoyed. The blackened salmon, however, was a bit underwhelming.
That said, dessert completely redeemed the meal. The “Vice Cake” (a stout cake layered with coffee buttercream, tobacco syrup, chocolate ganache, candied bacon, hemp seeds, and sea salt) was incredible, and it paired perfectly with the macchiato. I finished off with an iced lavender latte made with local coffee from Richardson, which had amazing depth and flavor, the perfect way to end our lunch.
We came on a Sunday morning and the place was busy but we didn’t have a long wait at all for a small group.
Lovely atmosphere. Had about a 15 or so minute wait when we arrived.
Food was okay. Quiche could’ve been warmer and had more spinach in it (was told there would be spinach in it but don’t recall seeing/tasting any).
Wife wanted the humming bird – she liked it but I wasn’t a big fan of it.
I did like the grits a lot, though.
Not pictured is the chicken that my daughter’s had – crispy and the hot honey sauce was tremendous.
Dinged the service as the waitress was not very knowledgeable about the drinks they had, specifically the beers.
