I absolutely love this place. The service was fantastic and so was the food. Best seared ahi tuna dish I’ve ever had. Such a romantic atmosphere for date night. We left there planning our next visit back

Everyone has their favorite place or “special place” this is most definitely mine. We go back every time we get a chance. The service is great the food is incomparable. Tonight we went with the pork belly as an appetizer, filet mignon, and ahi seared tuna and vanilla bean crème brûlée as dessert. Chef Donna is amazing I love her style of cooking and the flavors she comes up with. I am a texture person and I love how she combines different textures and flavors.

You all know that I only give 5 Star reviews, but let’s consider this my pinnacle of 5 Star reviews. My wife and I went to this restaurant to celebrate our 40th Anniversary this evening, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Everything about this place is Spot On! This restaurant is in a historic hotel on the very vibrant Main Street of Enterprise Alabama , and although the structure has a haunted reputation of ghostly sightings, we were not fortunate enough to be witness to any tonight. Special thanks to Jordan for her exceptional service and personable attitude, she was worth the 5 stars all alone, but we can’t forget about the delicious fish dip appetizer, the perfectly cooked Filet Mignons, the complimentary Champagne, and the Crème Brûlée for desert. Thank you so much for a perfect evening in celebration of our Anniversary. Thank You Rawls for being a shining star in our community.

Wonderful fine dining birthday dinner for two! This historic location is aged but beautifully maintained with beautiful woodwork. The main hall makes you feel like you are on the runway. No waiting at all seated right away. Service was excquisit. Our wine flowed I tend to take the suggestion of the experienced wait staff to pair the wine with the meal and have yet to be disappointed. The food was great I have high standards and expect us all too with what we put in our bodies. As a person that has experienced fine dining up and down the east coast and a certified foodie I can tell you the food was delicious. In season veggies are served which I appreciate the chef's decision. If you haven't experienced fine dining be prepared portions are not huge but with all courses you will not be hungry. I will most definitely be back again!!

Awesome place. I came in late , but they still accommodated me with a great ribeye steak and fixings. I do not use the word 'great' lightly when talking about steaks. The manager and bartenders were very welcoming, and the decor was above expectations. The dinner wasn't cheap, but as they say, 'You get what you pay for.' Honestly, this was the best dinner I've had during my visit to town, and I have a hard time believing I'll find much better.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. I must say I was blown away by the food, service, and all around experience. I’m an oyster enthusiast, and had to try the chargrilled oysters. Hands down… The best oysters I’ve had thus far! On top of that the Smoked Old Fashioned was made to perfection. I will definitely be back. My experience was great, and I’m looking forward to my next visit!

We have eaten here a couple times now. We made a reservation for 7 people to do our parent 80th birthday celebrations. In a short notice they adjust our original request for a party of 7 to a party of 24. It didn’t feel like we imposed they were kind and warming about the adjustments. They even reached out to offer some suggestions to help the evening flow smoothly. The staff was welcoming and gave a professional appearance. It was comfortable for all of us that were present. They offered wheelchair assistance and access. It was a great experience. They even surprised us with a little extra, making the experience feel intimate and special for us all. During our party they had a few other events going on and still taking the normal restaurant tables. Special shout out to the owners and staff. Something that stands out is how they offered the drink specials to our guest and dinner specials. It was a beautiful experience and a memory that will last a life time. The chef’s also came out to meet everyone personally and wish our parent a happy birthday with a card from the staff signed. We definitely felt special and well taken care of. Also had a sibling who was not able to fly in but did make a special request a seafood tower for all our guest. This was excepted from the chef’s the day before and welcomed the request. It was fun to work with them to plan this event that was special to us. Thanks again for going above and beyond.
