You need to go here! Local or tourist this is the spot for dinner and brunch. Local chef made cuisine with custom pairings and delicious cocktails and mocktails, fresh juices, etc. Make a reservation. You'll need it. Generous portions! My brunch chicken sandwich was the size of my hand and we had possibly the best potatoes I have ever eaten for an appetizer.

The oxitail smoked grits were absolutely delicious. We really enjoyed their cocktail and the food. They have such great atmosphere too. Servers were friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. They even had live music in the morning for brunch. The decorations were very nice and relaxing. I definitely recommend it if you ever in this area. And I suggest to make a reservation if you’re going for dinner. They get busy during the dinning hours.

Took my date, who is vegetarian here... Overall, I was disappointed in the experience. Our server greeted us by complaining that they started the day and already got thrown 3 tables at once, so I kind of figured we were not in for a great time. The server was still attentive throughout our dinning and did keep asking us if things were okay, so that was a relief. My main disappointment came with the food being less than room temperature when it came to our table. The dishes that were meant to be cold had great flavor and tasted like they were supposed to. My tacos were flavorful and had the most tender pieces of octopus (tako) I have ever had, but because they were less than room temperature it was not as enjoyable as it would have been fresher from the kitchen. The pasta and vegetable medley were the same as the tacos, had a good flavor profile, but because they were brought cold to us, the dishes were not enjoyable. Even my water, which was filled 3 times tasted like it was straight from a tap, which I don't mind, but it was never cold water and serious was like I drank from the hose outside my house. The shining star of the night came because our server made a mistake with a dish we ordered, so the dish was remade to our request and that dish came to us warm and tasted wonderful. I guess, if our server made more mistakes, I would not have ended up so disappointed. I hope others have a better experience than I just had. For reference, we ordered the dip trio, a beet and orange salad, the tako tacos, the vegetable medley, the potatoes with whipped goat cheese and no bacon, the meatball pasta without the meatballs and a recommended cocktail. I don't have photos of everything.

The interior here is fun and quirky—definitely something different! While they do offer brunch, this place is actually better known for its bar, with a wide variety of cocktails and drinks, especially in the evening. The breakfast menu isn’t extensive, but it has a unique local twist that makes it feel special—though that also means it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. I personally enjoyed the oxtail soup—it was clean and light. On the other hand, the French toast was made with mochi-style bread, which felt a bit too chewy and rich for my taste. We tried some local fresh juices, and they were all great. The town itself is super charming, and there’s even a farmers market nearby on the weekends, so it’s worth checking out if you’re in the area.

My wife and I went here to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint! We had the lobster corn dogs, Tako Tacos, beer battered fish tacos, and 8 hr. oxtail pot pie. The flavors were on point, the presentation was bomb, and the atmosphere was super chill. Going to come back here for brunch one day, it's a tapas style restaurant so don't bring the kids it's a definite date night / friends night out kind of place. Drinks were good as well, Loved it! Thanks for a great experience!
