Food, service and atmosphere are generally good. However, brunch on Sunday has live music which in a bigger place might be good BUT it was too loud for the size of the place and it was not conducive for a relaxing brunch. I felt like I was in a bar having to yell at my friend. I had a headache when I left. Background music is nice but not singing and music at that level. Turn it down please.

We dined here again. My husband really enjoyed the chicken dish from our first visit and ordered it again. I ordered the chicken Southwest wrap and the fried goat cheese salad. Everything was delicious. We will definitely come here again!

After my poor experience of trying to order multiple bottles of wine previously, we decided to come here for dinner twice recently. Both times were nice evenings, so we sat outside. They are dog friendly on the patio, too! What we got: Wine: *Glass of Moscato - a nice, sweet wine, but not up there with my favorite moscato wines. *White Sangria - this was like a sprite drowned in lemon and lime juice. This was awful and a wine shop should be embarrassed for this product. Appetizers: *Fried Goat Cheese and Apples - We got this both times. They are cheesy and creamy, so good! *Crab Cakes - We also got these both times. The first time we loved them, this second time the crab flavor was lost because I think they over fried them with a very crispy coating that took away from a good tasting crab cake. Entrees: *Pasta Jambalaya - I got it without the shrimp, but I enjoyed this dish with the chicken, sausage, and veggies. There is a very similar cajun pasta at my favorite restaurant in Charlotte, and I found myself comparing and wanting that one instead. This was a good dish, but I'd get something different next time. *Beef Rib Pasta - this was a special of the evening, but my husband got this and it was very good. I liked his pasta dish more. *Charleston burger - my husband enjoyed this with a side of pasta salad. I thought both were just okay. *Cuban - I would not get this again. It was a little dry and just did not have a lot of flavor. I've had much better cuban sandwiches. I had it with a standard caesar salad. Overall, this place is a hit or miss, and I think they are overpriced for what you get. My husband likes it more than me, so it will be a return on his request. It's a shame since they are close by and offer a nice environment, but they have to offer better food and consistency to match their pricing.

I normally love this place. Had a fried goat cheese salad for lunch this time and it was a huge disappointment. The salad was $13 and it was small. The fried goat cheese balls were about the size of a nickel, and there were only two. To get another nickel sized ball there was an up charge of two dollars. They need to do better.

For lunch, I met my friend out here. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside; there are trees so it felt pleasant. Although they were busy, we were seated right away. There's an array of sandwiches, flatbreads, and burgers. I had the fried shrimp. I also had a glass of Moscato. Absolutely delicious! Cute spot for friends or a date.
