On a Sunday, I looked up breakfast restaurants and found this place. Perfect food with perfect portioning. Quiet and delicious. Pictures of the shrimp grits I ordered tells the story, see for yourself.
HALEY was our server and she was superb; friendly, fun, attentive and efficient. The food…all of it, outstanding!! 😋 Casual - easy going atmosphere. I will come back. Thanks!
7/12/25 - I've been here few times now. I really love the aesthetic of this place. The entrance you go through the garden before entering the building. Every time I have been I am amazed at their Rosemary bush. There is some sitting right in front of the building and then some in the back that is shared with the place next door. They have nice drinks but can be a little bit more on the expensive side. I haven't really had any of their food but friends usually get their hot dogs or glizzy as they would say. I've only come at night to enjoy the bar scene. The additional back yard area with seating is pretty cool. They have shipping containers. The last time I went I got the Wanda vision for a drink and it was delicious. It was a nice floral tasting, which is my favorite. Like I said I really like the vibe here and love to come for some drinks and outdoor area.
Come here for happy hour or brunch! Perfect outdoor garden seating on a beautiful day. Creative cocktails and absolutely delish dishes (even on rainy days the chili or grits bowls are such a comfort). You truly cannot go wrong. Very nourishing and satisfying food. Friendly and attentive staff. Will continue to come back again and again!
Very cool eclectic vibe. Ginger beer needs to be sold in growlers or some sort of takeaway. It is very good. The mushroom gravy was delicious. I am picky about menus being explicit. I had avocado toast which was good but came with a bag of chips which is beneath the vibe. There was a parenthetical suggestion to add frittata (which says potato and egg to me) but didn't indicate the up charge. I think suggesting a side of tots (ore ida? Though well cooked super crunchy) or small servings of grits would have been nice. Portions are large. Friend had chili with pulled chicken which was great. Another had park place bowl... Crispy tots and mushroom gravy with other flavors... Very good. Next time I am going to try the sos. Server didn't offer or even make note of the specials which included dill pickle soup which we would have tried but missed the specials board. hope to try next time. We will go back for dinner drinks to catch the perro Blanco food next door. Service was fine but didn't sell the place. Reading the 1 star reviews, we were checked in, food came timely, they bussed our table. Just service didn't live up to the vibe.

Where rustic charm meets modern comfort food and craft cocktails in a garden oasis.
