Reviews
This place has 2 stories, with the upstairs seeming to have more/main seating. The bathrooms are also upstairs. We were given water right away when seated. We first ordered some mimosas that came out pretty quickly. When ordering our food they informed us they ran out of chicken, which was unfortunate. Someone in our party wanted to order the OG. Our table ended up ordering the Roasted Beet & Burrata (my order), Wild Game Burger, 2 Slab Bacon BLT & the Lillie Burger. It took over an hour for our food to come out. I don’t know if that is normal here but that seems a very long time considering what we ordered. I wouldn’t think it would take that long to cook. When the food did come out; I liked my salad but wish there was a little bit more dressing. I took it to go, and asked for a side of dressing. When I ate the rest of it with the extra dressing it was really good. The other people at our table said there food was okay. Didn’t seem anything too special with flavor just basic standard what you order is what you get. The place is nice and the atmosphere is cool. We were seated upstairs and the view was pretty looking out. I will say we were seated at a unique table where we looked out to everyone. That was also a bit interesting & felt awkward at times. With the long wait on food, items not being available, the food being pretty basic, and the amount you pay for it did not seem worth it to dine here. I hope if and when I were ever to come back it would be different experience.
Located in a charming downtown area, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and instantly welcoming. Our waitress was incredibly patient and warm, which made such a difference for a large group.
As a gin girl, I went straight for the Steel Magnolia, and wow… dangerously good. The table sampled everything from fried chicken to short rib, but I chose the coffee-rubbed filet medallions, and they were slap-the-table delicious.
Minor heartbreak that they were out of the pimento mac & cheese, and I did notice the open kitchen could use stricter hairnet enforcement…but honestly, those were small blips in an otherwise wonderful experience.
Grateful, full, and happy we landed here. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you almost didn’t have.
You must try the cauliflower appetizer which is broiled crispy but not overcooked, and served with a perfect amount of beer sauce and pepitas. Try some of the cutely dubbed drinks, such as the Steel Magnolia which is divine but strong with its mixture of grapefruit juice and fresh rosemary. For dinner, I enjoyed the sea bass while my husband devoured the airline chicken. Many of our friends ordered and raved about the shrimp and grits.
You should stay for dessert (if you have room, b/c the portions are huge). The slices of carrot cake are also immense and the peach bread pudding is made to perfection.

Food is not bad at 3.5 stars. The braised beef short ribs is the highlight worthy a thumb up (although a bit on the salty side) but shrimp grits and fries chicken are just average. Brussel sprouts not super crispy but the pork belly is a better alternative for appetizer. Staff friendly and location is good–one block to carpenter theatre so expect show attending crowd.
