    Made a last minute reservation for this location and was not disappointed! We had the skillet cornbread, a burger, the hot honey chicken, the shrimp scampi, beignets, and key lime pie...all were delicious! The drinks were cool, and the service was absolutely top notch. I had an old gift card that didn't register in the system, and front of house manager Chris helped us figure it all out and honored the money left on the card. What a guy! Franklin was awesome as our server, checking in, offering suggestions, and generally being such a fun, nice presence during our dinner. Can't wait to go back! :)
