crowned with caramelized onion gravy.

We strongly suggest you plan a brunch outing on a Saturday or Sunday, as the menu will provide plenty of specialties to contemplate.

Whenever you go, don’t skip the sublime and substantial French toast brick.

“We bake the semolina dough and soak it overnight in a heavy egg mixture,” Daniels revealed. “It has a crème brûlée-esque texture.”

Splendid shrimp and grits are prepared with a coffee-based red eye barbecue sauce fashioned with garlic, ketchup, onion, and vinegar. The entrée includes a hearty sausage egg roll.

Choices abound at lunchtime, including the sandwich of the day with soup and salad and the open-faced seared salmon sandwich with smoked bacon and delectable balsamic mustard.

For an impeccable sweet-and-savory option, go for the chicken and waffle. The tender, crispy chicken breast comes drizzled with a chipotle-infused hot honey that will tingle your taste buds.

Among the tempting lunch options, order the open-faced seared salmon sandwich on sourdough. We found the fish to be as fresh and flaky as you’d find at the coast’s finest seafood eatery.

“The balsamic mustard is what makes it stand out,” Daniels said. “We make it in house and ferment it for 24 hours.”

Pan-griddled meatloaf sliders paired with kettle chips make for a generously portioned meal.

At lunchtime and dinner, a selection of For the Table features include items like fried green tomatoes, red eye barbecue quail, and roasted heirloom cauliflower — all of which are gluten free.

“We have made a concerted effort to offer plenty of gluten-free options for the guests,” Daniels said. “This is a priority that’s here to stay.”

Dishes such as barbecue quail, fried green tomatoes, and pan-roasted chicken are artfully presented and impeccably prepared.

Dinner entrees range from cilantro-tinged fish tacos to fork-tender braised short ribs. You’ll also find bucatini pasta brimming with Italian sausage and grilled shrimp, and a pan-roasted chicken served atop asparagus risotto.

A three-course fixed price blue plate dinner provides a nice alternative at a reasonable cost.

“We love to be thought of as a go-to spot on date nights, but we also want to be a place where you come in for a burger on a Wednesday evening,” Daniels said, adding that perceived value is important these days.

An all-day menu featuring artisanal cheeses, ahi tuna, seared diver scallops, steak frites, and more is available from 11 a.m. to closing no matter where you choose to sit.

When it comes to libations, hand-crafted cocktails like the vodka-based Mayton Monarch, bourbon-imbued Honey Bee, and Seneca Old Fashioned with black walnut bitters will keep imbibers satisfied. Beer on draft includes offerings from local craft beer purveyors Bond Brothers and Fortnight Brewing, as well as Red Oak and Wicked Weed.

Be sure to save room for dessert. Aptly named chocolate sin cake will have you repenting of any gluttonous indiscretions, while the intense lemon tart delivers a tangy punch.

Reservations are strongly encouraged. Private dining is available for groups and special occasions. Check the website for operating hours.
