excellent experience. we ate at this restaurant last saturday. the new southern cuisine theme was what attracted us to the restaurant. there was plenty of parking and it's located in a shopping center so it's easy to find. there was no wait for atablethough the restaurant was busy. i rate restaurants experiences based three things; food, service and atmosphere.
food - we ordered two appetizers for the table. the pork spring rolls were very tasty far better than i expected them to be! fried green tomato's are one of our favorite dishes and the ones prepared here did not disappoint. very tasty also! i ordered the pan fried chicken for my entree. i'm not sure i would call what i was served pan fired. it was more sauteed than fried. part of that may be on me, as i was thinking southern fried chicken when i ordered it. one bite however eliminated any regrets on my part. it was delicious. it was served with seasoned mash potatoes and green beans. the chicken was seasoned boneless breasts covered with a light batter and covered in a light white sauce/gravy along with the mashed potatoe . the portion sizes were generous and pleasantly plated. my wife had the sliced turkey breast. she was quite happy with it. i had a taste of it also. the turkey was very moist and served with dressing, cranberries, and mashed potatoes. nicely prepared and plated also. dessert was a shared chocolate tort. very rich but very good also. on a scale of 1-10 with ten being the best i rate the food at 9. it was good!
service- our waiter was efficient though he forgot a couple of things asked for and had to be reminded. not a major mistake. the meal took a while to come out of the kitchen, but the place was busy and the wait was appropriate given the number of diners and the diner hour. on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best i'd rate the service as a 7.
atmosphere - this restaurant looked clean,tablesettings were neat and orderly, and the decor more or less standard restaurant design with an eye toward an upscale look. 1 - 10, i'd give the atmosphere a 7 also.
we will definitely go back here again. the menu had a lot of good options and i'm looking forward to sampling more of them!
