This place is AMAZING!!!The Food and Wine is phenomenal, Best date place and best little jewel in Tuscaloosa.

I would love to give a review as I hear this is a nice place. However, for over a year we have tried to make reservations and when we call or go online at 6 am 4 weeks in advance there is never a table. Find it hard to believe there is NEVER a table available….

It was incredible. Enjoyed the dining experience and the food was delicious!

Once again a perfect delicious meal and great service!

Nice and elegant restaurant with great food and service.

Long wait for food and waiter forgot to give us a pen for the check and it took a long time to get a hold of someone to get us one.

Amazing service and amazing food. 10/10 would recommend

Everything was pretty good, but the best thing we had was the pork and greens. A lot louder than I was expecting, but it was a good experience overall

Out of town guests were being introduced to local friends. Our meals were excellent and the woman who served our table was exceptionally gracious, especially about one person’s food issues, and helpful. The new people were impressed and the locals were proud to show off a lovely place for “mature” people to eat.

we were given a seat right at the entrance behind the host… not great but whatever. took about 15 minutes for anyone to come take a drink order. service got better but it was never incredible. the food was good but it certainly wasn’t a unique dining experience. we had the pork belly and brussel sprouts. brussel sprouts were good, friend pork belly was not. we had the tuna poke bowl. tuna wasn’t super fresh and was chunked pretty small. the sauce was nice. we had a salad which was nice but again, lettuce wasn’t incredibly fresh not was the salad anything special. we had the grouper which was not very fresh at all. the seasoning / glaze was delicious but it hardly permeated the meat. cheese grits were phenomenal. creme brûlée was slightly pretty gooopy , not creamy. overall really would have expected the food to be significantly more impressive. flavors and freshness were really lacking at times. there are better options in tuscaloosa that don’t claim to be so great. understaffed + slow service, with managers doing nothing to accommodate, was off-putting as well. 4/5 overall but definitely 3/5 based on expectations and price.
