My wife and I came here to celebrate his birthday while visiting from out of town, having heard…read morethis was one of the nicer, more elegant spots downtown. The interior really is lovely and well-appointed, though the outside sign could use a little TLC to match the upscale vibe inside. Our experience was a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. To start, the food was a rollercoaster. I ordered the stuffed oven-roasted chicken with a side of green beans, and it was absolutely phenomenal--easily the most tender, flavorful chicken I've had in a long time. My wife, however, ordered the ribs, and they were a total disappointment. They were incredibly dry and charred, almost like they were reheated from the day before and just slathered in fresh BBQ sauce to hide it. He barely touched them. The service also left a lot to be desired. Our server was polite enough when she was at the table, but she was incredibly slow and seemed completely overwhelmed, even though the dining room was only about a quarter full. She brought out the wrong side dishes at first and then hovered right over us with the handheld card reader at the end of the night, which made us feel really rushed to pay. Be sure to check your receipt closely before tapping your card, too--they automatically add a 20% gratuity for larger parties (which is fine, but our server didn't mention it), and there's a 3% fee just for using a credit card. It's a beautiful spot and has a lot of potential, but for the price, the consistency just isn't quite there yet.

As I moved here a couple of days ago and I'm living out of a hotel until my belongings arrive on a moving truck, and I'm eating a lot of food out. I could say before this restaurant I was a little disappointed in the food I was trying at restaurants that had been rated five stars on yelp. For example, and it didn't happen at this restaurant, I had a Cobb salad the night before that relied on gobs of cheese to please, which shouldn't even be on a cob salad. But enough, groaning and moaning, and back to this restaurant. I love seafood, and I got the seafood appetizer platter. It was really good and I was quite satisfied. I started eating it and I thought now this is what I've been hoping for in a Jackson dining experience rated with high stars on yelp. I am looking forward to coming back to the restaurant and trying more of the items on the menu as there were many things that looked good.

I arrived at the height of the busy time and while waiting to be seated was told by several locals that I had made a very good choice. They recommended the Sirloin for Two, I was alone, but got it anyway due to several additional recommendations. Hey, it became THREE steak dinners and they were GREAT! The owner came by and spoke to me, asked how I had located his business, I told him of the restaurant that had given me my dinner options and spoke so highly of his establishment. Unlimited, well stocked salad bar, not just lettuce but interesting and unusual items. Spiced pickles? Yum! I was too full for dessert but others nearby said all desserts are made ON SITE! Many patrons were partaking and the desserts looked good. I plan to return here next time I'm in the area.

I ordered fried Catfish filets and fried green tomatoes [ I figured if I'm gonna eat fried food, I may as well go all the way :) ] Well, the tomatoes were fried perfectly, lightly breaded, my only complaint is that they were so over salted I couldn't finish it. The fish was a bit better, cornmeal breading again a bit heavy handed with the salt, but passable.

I ordered the Caesar salad and my husband ordered the house salad both delicious and fresh. For the main course I ordered Tuscan chicken in a cream spinach sauce with bow tie pasta. Waitress was so nice offered to make it with any pasta I wanted. It was cooked to perfection. My husband ordered the lasagna with meat sauce. He stated it was delicious.
