So we were visiting from out of town and decided to try this place last minute because it had great ratings. Give great ratings,... I sometimes later wonder if they know what good food tastes like. I ordered the grit cakes with Gouda cheese and the bisonmeatloaf. Hubbie ordered a burger. First, it was an enormous amount of food so for what we were paying I was pleased. However,that enormous amount of food was under seasoned and dry. I am of the mind that if I have to add extra condiments and sauce tomake an expensive meal taste well, then it's not a good meal or value. When returning to the area, this will not be on my listof restaurants to revisit. Read more

Love this place. They have a few items that seem to stay on the menu, like the brussel sprouts. Then there are some items that... are seasonal, like the pea soup. When the pea soup comes around try it. I promise you won't regret it. Most places are adisappointment this is one exception. The do it right. They always seem to have unique pairings that are fun to try. Some areobvious like lemon and basil in a cocktail and others are more adventurous, give the pickle fries a go. Go in have a nice lunchor dinner. They have brunch on Sundays. Happy hours are from opening to 6. Seriously they do good food. Read more

On a trip to Newport News for my daughter's birthday and I decided to look up restaurants in the area. Loved the reviews so... gave this place a try and I am so glad we did. Everything was delicious, but my soul on a roll chicken sandwich, perfectiononion rings as well. The atmosphere was so lovely and our waitress and many others stop by our table to make sure we were okwhich was a plus. If you're in this area this restaurant is definitely worth trying. Read more
