    Visited on Memorial Day for brunch with family. The food and drinks were outstanding and presentation was top notch. We absolutely loved The O’Keefe and Lychee Martini. The quiche and scallops with sweet potato puree were outstanding. Our waiter John was nice as well. Will definitely be back!

    I absolutely love this restaurant. I decided to go last minute on a holiday Sunday. Eight friends decided they wanted to come have dinner with me last minute. The owner Charles Clark and his staff created a table for me and my friends. We had a blast. Always great service and great food. The amount of work it takes to make this restaurant run the way it does and the food to come out perfect is so much work and dedication. That is truly appreciated.

    We were celebrating the engagement of one couple and the 50th anniversary of another, and the evening was made more special by the handwritten notes for each couple by Marigold Club! These were very much appreciated, along with the complimentary champagne to toast! Gervin was our waiter and was professional and very attentive! The meal was outstanding from beginning to end; would recommend y’all to all our friends!
