Everything came surprisingly fast, seasoned well, nothing over or undercooked, and agreeable portions. New restaurant in a new plaza, so it's very clean, cute, and ample parking. Our bill came to $87-VERY fair: three mocktails (they're not called that but I don't want to just say "drinks"), six beignets, Louisiana redfish, shrimp and grits, and a burger plate. On our way out, we were thanked by at least four team members.

They have a few upper 2 top tables in the corner that let you see a good view of the restaurant. Our server, LeAnn, was super sweet, funny, & gave great recommendations. I had the Honey Suckle Lemonade and red fish with fries. Honestly the ONLY thing that could've been better were the fries. They weren't as hot as i like them, i did eat them all though... The red fish was seasoned very well, i did add some salt and lemon garlic butter but it was not lacking by any means. My love got the shrimp and grits, a hit he says. (It is one of the pricey restaurants in the area).

Next time, I'm bringing home a whole pie. I recommend the chocolate. Top-notch. Mr. Lea would be proud!

After I checked in I had breakfast here. So nice to have a warm meal while I saw the sleet outside. The staff were so accommodating! Shout out to Brook! And Mr. And Mrs Echols for being amazing owners and helping out their staff when they were short staffed. Christie was super welcoming and made me a delicious espresso. For dinner I indulged with their must try ribeye. It's very understandable they had a limited menu due to the weather and staff if they had their full menu I would have had a difficult time to decide what to have! The wine was fantastic and just the whole atmosphere warms the soul. And don't judge me I ate all 12oz of the wonderfully cooked ribeye. And the greens and mashed potatoes paired perfectly! The prefect thing to have after walking in the sleet. The whole aesthetic of the hotel and bar and restaurant blend so well. Love this boutique hotel and their restaurant. Prefect for a date night. For my second dinner. I had the blackened redfish with their rice stone grits , yes another indulgence! OMG! Another knock out of the park! Compliments to the chef! And of course the whole bar and front desk and restaurant team! Such an amazing experience! Even through this was an unplanned stopped due to weather. I'm so glad this place welcomed me with welcome arms and had such filling delicious food. Really like a beacon and an unexpected delightful stop. You turned a terrible circumstance to a culinary delight! I paired this delicious redfish with their salad. Chefs kiss! I wish they had the grits sold in their little store. I would totally buy those. Thank you for my fantastic meals! I hope to come back and share this place with my husband (in better weather.)
