I love the ideas they have different each Valentines , it makes it even more unique than it already is.

My new bride and I had our wedding reception here on 10-4. The restaurant booked it as a private event and we had the entire place to ourselves. Each guest was greeted at the front door as they arrived, and food was started promptly once everyone was there. They were so friendly and accommodating! We were initially given a family style food selection, which proved problematic when trying to pick something all of our guests would enjoy. In a strange twist of fortune, we actually ended up benefitting from COVID, as family/food bar style serving was ruled out. Due to COVID, we were offered a plated dinner selection where each person picked their own entrée from a limited menu, and we picked two sides that everyone would have. We put together a list of everyone's entrée choice and sent it to them ahead of time. Everyone really enjoyed their food, the portions were EXTREMELY generous, and the restaurant was beautiful. I will note that they got one of our sides wrong. We had asked for southern style green beans, but we're not even sure what we received. It was some form of mixed vegetables, but most definitely wasn't green beans. That was really the only complaint we had, though. The other side was roasted potatoes and everyone really enjoyed those, so we didn't even bother raising it as an issue while we were there. The simple fact is that everything else was done so well that we were very willing to overlook this. All in all, this place is definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. Due to COVID, I believe they have adopted a new business model centering on catering events on site, though. It may be worth contacting them ahead of time to verify before you drive over there.

A bit on the pricey side, but the food makes it worth every penny. Theyll definitely be seeing more of me around.

Excellent food. Intimate atmosphere with great staff
