Brielle, was a very friendly server and the food was excellent. I got the cedar plank salmon and it was so delicious!
One of Oxford true treasures in dining. Duck gumbo is the best deal in town. We had the blackened catfish and the duck salad
I've had the tuna tacos and the salmon salad - both were excellent. Pic is of the tuna tacos. If you are trying to front on a date, the tacos are a little sloppy to hold all together so save those for a 2nd or 3rd date. 1st date go for the salmon salad.
Everything about dinner here is great. The service is very good. The food is refreshing and the wine list affordable. The vibe is cool too. We had everything from the fried oysters to fried green tomatoes and they were very imaginative. We had salads that were fresh and interesting. We had steak, seafood… all very good. The service was impeccable. And the biscuits. Mmmmmmm
Just had lunch at my favorite place. Walker took great care of me. They are lucky to have such a charming young fellow. Hope to be back soon.
We had the best time and food was amazing. Steak was perfect. Tuna appetizer was out of this world. Everyone loved their dinner. Pricing was great. Atmosphere is Oxford on the square. You can’t get much better. Service on homecoming weekend was awesome. Have not been back to Ole Miss in a while but will eat here when we come to Oxford.
The best burger in Oxford! I’ve eaten burgers at all the hot spots on the square and this one is clearly the winner. Also they went above and beyond to customized my fries and they were outstanding! Great place!
Food was fantastic and our service was great!
I was a visiting guest artist at the university and was taken to this lovely restaurant. What a lovely experience. The staff were amazing and super nice. The food was top notch. I travel the world and for sure this place made some of the best plates.
We had a great meal and our server Anderson was awesome! We split our wedge salad and Chilean Sea Bass and had Crunch Cheesecake. The menu online and on their website needs updating, but the food was excellent. Oh, and the homemade biscuits were delicious!!
