I really enjoy this restaurant. It seems like the person in charge of the remodel is taking their time. The weather is great outside, so hurry up! The food, service, and atmosphere all deserve a perfect score of 5.

This restaurant offers a fantastic brunch experience, with prices ranging from $30 to $50 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all received perfect scores of 5. I highly recommend trying the Public House dish when you visit.

I was very hopeful, seeing the reviews of this place, but when we went here to eat, it was utterly disappointing. We ordered the fried pimento cheese, the heirloom beet salad, the gumbo and the turkey club. The only decent thing we had was the fried pimento cheese. The gumbo had pretty much no flavor and there were probably 2 pieces of sausage in it. The chicken in the gumbo was in cubes. It looked like, and tasted like they got this out of a can from progresso. The turkey club was a joke. It was literally just a basic sandwich that they toasted the bread and threw some bacon onto. The turkey was not deli sliced, it looked like the fake stuff from oscar mayer. There was no middle piece of bread either. It was thin and flat. The fries that came with it were good. As for the heirloom tomato salad. If you know anything about heirloom tomatoes, you know they are multi-colored, usually large and oddly shaped compared to regular tomatoes. I love heirloom tomatoes, so we got the salad. The tomatoes on this salad were definitely not what anyone would consider heirloom. They were small, tri-colored grape tomatoes cut in half. Dont get me wrong, I like those tomatoes too, I buy them all of the time at the grocery store, but they do not call them heirloom, so do not advertise these as heirloom. The dressing with the salad was way too sweet. When we told the server we did not like the salad because they were not actual heirloom tomatoes and the dressing was too sweet, she argued with us and told us that she would bring out the box to show us that they did say they were heirloom. That almost makes me think that they have had other people say the same thing. Well, even if they found some knock off heirloom tomatoes, that is not what people think when they see it on a menu. So much of this menu tasted like it came from a box or a can. If this was a cheap little cafe somewhere, I would expect this kind of food, but for the prices they charge here, I expect much more. So disappointing. Maybe their brunch is good? Maybe they have good drinks? Their food, however, leaves much to be desired, especially for the prices they charge.
