I ordered the curry goat and jerk chicken with rice, cabbage, and plantains everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned.

Where do I even start? I have to give it up to Hannah because her patience with us was next level…read more She was locked out of our cabin for a brief moment and I couldn't even get in touch with her because my phone died after a full day at the local vineyards. Luckily, I had her email and knew she'd respond right away. What can I say? From the very beginning, I knew this was going to be quite the experience. Hannah and I were in touch everyday curating the perfect menu for my girls trip. She was extremely accommodating as one of the girls did not like meat so she quickly made her own choices for my friend. She's extremely communicative which was my favorite part about her services. She made this experience 10/10 for us. And the FOOD?! Phenomenal! We devoured everything. Hannah took care of all the courses and one I didn't include was the kale Cesar salad that tasted so yummy and added the lightest clean touch to our steak dinner. I have no complaints with Hannah and if you're looking for a chef in the Blue Ridge she is your girl. She will take of you from beginning to end with upmost southern hospitality. We do enjoyed having her and will book her again no questions asked! Love you Hannah you were wonderful!!

The chicken were a lil small but they had flavor on them.. I would definitely try it this restaurant again and order something else to try other stuff...

It has been on my list for a while but I rarely find myself outside past midnight and ready to eat lol. Easy street parking was a plus. Loved the grown and sexy vibe inside. Dj was pretty good playing a range of things for everyone to enjoy. Service was ok. Attentive but slight delay on everything which was a little annoying at that time of night. Menu is limited but intriguing, with something for everyone. I tried the salmon and grits and was a little disappointed by how much sauce was in the plate. The teriyaki flavor really overpowered the grits. It was still edible but not something I would eat again. All staff was friendly and constantly checking that guests are okay. Overall I wouldn't mind coming back!
