Serving American homestyle cooking with an elevated twist, this relaxed restaurant perfectly blends a vintage diner aesthetic with a fine dining experience in a welcoming atmosphere. Cozy up in a booth or sit on a round stool at the counter for a view of the open kitchen; everything is made from scratch with meticulously sourced, sustainable ingredients or features products from local experts. Classic cocktails are mixed at the bar, and their homemade orange soda is a hit for visitors of all ages. Every bite on the menu draws inspiration from the owner's Southern roots and signature dishes include free-range spicy fried chicken biscuits or crispy fish sandwiches with fermented hot sauce. For an extra slice of Americana, finish up with homemade lime pie or a hot fudge sundae.
