Stopped in for a solo lunch and it was excellent. Hearty farm to table food, filling and reasonably priced. The bartender Derek was kind and chatty, with fun facts to share about the history of the restaurant. Highly recommend !

Delicious food and drinks in a warm and open atmosphere. We went for dinner in early spring and the menu reflected some of the new fresh ingredients and flavors of spring. Service is a bit slower paced to give you time and when it's busy it can take a little while to come back, but the food and drinks came out pretty quickly after being ordered and prepared. Everything tasted excellent and fresh and our biggest complaint is that the dishes were on the smaller portion side. Of course that left us with room for dessert which was also excellent. Prices are common for the area though maybe a bit high considering the smaller dish size. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and evening and would visit again. An excellent place for a date night or dinner with friends.

This beautiful hotel restaurant was an excellent choice for breakfast. I was truly amazed by the interior as soon as the elevator doors opened; it felt like stepping into an upscale library. The ambience of the restaurant was great. I ordered coffee, freshly squeezed carrot juice, and an avocado spread. My friend shared hash browns with me. We stayed there for over two hours, enjoying breakfast and conversation. It's an excellent choice for an out-of-town guest looking for a breakfast spot.

Solid food. Amazing pies. Always get the pie of the day for dessert, which is a personal size. Dining room is huge and has a southern cafeteria feel to it. Some of the sides you can tell are mass cooked and taste old from sitting around. Entrees are always fresh though. Crab and corn chowder Light and sweet. Almost zero crab though. Still decent though 3.5/5 Pork chop Large portion cook week. Nice smokiness to go with the sweet berry sauce 4/5 Pie of the day Homemade and delicious personal pie. As good as a pie can get 5/5

Some of the food was very good. Someone was just OK. 3.5 The salad with the deviled eggs and bread was excellent and the veggie burger was excellent. Pot roast looked dry. Carolina Gold, spinach and leeks, which was so named because it was Rice but not clear on the menu. my cocktail is excellent, although I would have preferred it on rocks and did not order it straight up. Corn bread is really corn cakes A boulevardier is usually served on rocks. Servers excellent
