What our guests are saying
We decided to go out for New Year's Eve at the last minute and, even without a reservation, the staff was friendly and accommodated us at the bar. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The service was professional, efficient, and attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. The live music was a great surprise, and our meal was beautifully prepared, served hot, and absolutely delicious. Dessert was the perfect ending. If you have the opportunity to dine here, you won't be disappointed.

Love this hidden gem in the cute downtown of Oxford, NC! The dry aged rib eye with lobster tail was divine and the fish and grits were fantastic as were the deviled eggs with the crawfish— excellent cocktails made at their in-house distillery and first class wine list! Nice service and atmosphere too!

We found this gem just off I-85 while traveling, and it was absolutely worth the stop. My wife's pork chop and my scallops were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The cabbage side reminded us of homemade cooking, and it was a nice surprise to learn it was the chef's grandmother's recipe. The staff was exceptionally friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect for a date night. If you're passing through or looking for a great Southern meal, don't miss this place—and definitely save room for de
