    From the moment we walked in we had such a lovely experience here. Even though we were late for our reservation, they still held our table which we truly appreciated. Our server, Jason, was amazing and made the night even better. The appetizers were delicious, we especially loved the cornbread with the lavender honey butter (we already know to ask for extra butter next time 😂). Our meals were fantastic, and we finished the night with the bread pudding, which was honestly my favorite part of the meal. Can’t wait to come back!
