“Let me start off by saying the hospitality, and level of care the servers take for their patrons is unmatched for the 757. My short ribs were amazing! my wife’s burger was good, but nothing groundbreaking. I would definitely go back just for the service, and the quality of food that they put out. I would definitely try their more out there items you can tell that’s where the heart is at.”

“The space is small and intimate which is nice but make a reservation if you want to dine during peak hours. The food was good.”

“The service was excellent, but the food wasn't great (although it looked great). I ordered the Bread & Butter, the Oyster Mushrooms, and the Burger. The Bread and Butter was delicious. However, the oyster mushrooms tasted fishy which was off putting. I had high hopes for the Burger after reading other reviews online but it was underwhelming to say the least. The meat was not good and tasted overworked. What's really annoying is they add a 20% gratuity to the bill without saying anything, and I didn't notice until wrote in the tip for 20% and noticed the text at the bottom. So I ended up tipping 40% instead of my usual 20% which I do even if the food is bad. The service was really good so I just let it be but that's so unheard of, especially for one person. I get adding a fixed gratuity on a check for 5+ people but that's the only time it makes sense. It's also worth mentioning that the restaurant is just generally uncomfortable. The seats are wood and it's all one room so it's loud. Overall it wasn't a good experience.”

“Upon walking in, it was packed so first impressions is the food must be good. I didn't have a reservation but it was seating available at the bar like table facing the garage style door for 2. I tried briefly before arriving to find menu on the IG page, I didn't see one. I ordered the pineapple ginger mock tail as they have a set non alcoholic menu. My friend order same meal and 2 cocktail as pictured. The bread and butter is an appetizer it was actually really good. Food got the beef ribs, with grits, and potatoes asked to whole the carrots. You can omit an item but no substitutions. The rib was juicy and tender the grits paired well with rib, but the potatoes are undercooked. The service from entire staff was great, very attentive. I came, I tried but not the place for a return for me.”

“The atmosphere was quaint which is code(x) for tight, but it was very cute. We did not have a reservation but they accommodated us with bar seating. The bartender made 0 eye contact with me but insisted on making contant goo goo eyes at my partner as if I didnt exist. It was my birthday. I felt very unseen . Even when she checked back to see if the food was okay- only asked my partner. Yikes. Wasnt sure if it was just an attraction thing or a race thing but again since it was an intimate birthday dinner celebrating me, I couldnt help but notice the lack of attentiveness. Food was delicious. We had a couple of appetizers. The Brussel Sprouts are AMAZING. 10/10 recommend anyone trying them out.”
