While the exterior landscape is truly great, the interior aesthetic is quite a surprising departure eccentrically decorated to evoke the feel of a cozy, whimsical mouse family house. It is certainly an unconventional choice, but it keeps the atmosphere intimate and entirely uncrowded. I settled into a perfectly serene, quiet area to dine. The hospitality was lovely from the start; the server was incredibly friendly and immediately offered a refreshing drink. I must note that their menu is absolutely complete, offering an impressive array of selections. For my entree, I ordered their signature grilled chicken, and it was an absolute triumph. The chicken was exceptionally tender, succulent, and seasoned to absolute perfection. While the indoor decor is rather eclectic, the culinary execution and the stunning outdoor setting make this place feel like a lost nirvana. A thoroughly wonderful experience I will most certainly be returning!

It was fairly busy but the food came out pretty quick. I got PawPaws breakfast (eggs, bacon, potatoes and a biscuit) . The biscuit and potatoes were the best part. Honestly delicious.

Unfortunately, it did not. My friends and I were visiting Monroe for the LO Sister Women's Conference and were tourists just looking for a nice brunch spot before heading back home. The hosts at the front were incredibly kind, and the other servers we passed were smiling and welcoming, so I was excited for the experience. Unfortunately, our server, Kandi, came across as very rude and unwelcoming from the beginning. Her tone felt aggressive, and she seemed short with all of us while we were ordering. I have a texture issue with poached eggs, so when ordering the Cochon Benedict, I politely explained that I don't like poached eggs and asked if scrambled eggs would be possible instead. I was still very excited about the dish and was open to the substitution. Her response was essentially, "Well, it's supposed to be served that way. That's what makes a Benedict a Benedict, but I guess I'll see if we can do that." As someone who has also worked in the service industry, I completely understand that restaurants have certain ways they prepare and serve their dishes, and I understand that substitutions aren't always possible. What disappointed me was the tone and the lack of warmth in the interaction. There was no need for my request to feel like an inconvenience, especially when I was simply explaining a dietary/texture preference and asking if there was another option. Honestly, after that first interaction, I almost didn't want to order at all because I wondered how the rest of the experience would go. I want to emphasize that the restaurant itself is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere has so much potential. My experience with the other staff members was positive, which made the interaction with our server stand out even more. I'm praying for Kandi and genuinely hope she was simply having a rough day. I don't know what she may have been dealing with that day, and I never want to judge someone based on one interaction. However, as a customer visiting from out of town, first impressions matter, and unfortunately, the service took away from what could have been a wonderful overall experience.

The only reason for the four stars, rather than the five is the cleanliness of the bathroom and the difficulty of getting out of the parking area.

Upon stepping in you receive a warm welcome from the staff. To go orders are picked up at the other side of their bar. Since I ordered an entree I also got a trip to the salad bar, so I got a chance to check out their spacious restaurant and bar--again a nice tribute to NO! My shrimp and grits were good, but a little too cheesy and runny. Also, I wish that they would have come in a bowl versus a box. My mom mentioned her gumbo was a little salty, but had some good flavor to it. The bingets also were delicious and made a great little snack! The next time I am in town I will come back and eat it.
