Your restaurant is a welcome addition to downtown Northport and the Tuscaloosa area. I have enjoyed lunch and dinner with friends since you opened and look forward to taking my husband there soon. I have already decided what he will order! (So I can have a bite, of course.) Your filet was superb and your grilled scallops were exquisite. Stay busy!
