"We came here after hiking at Pisgah. We were driving through Hickory and needed to find a place to eat lunch. I called ahead to see if, even though we were dressed casually from hiking, if it would be okay. Scott (management) was so kind and encouraged us to come over, particularly because it was Sunday brunch. He even offered to get a table ready for us and asked our preference on outside or inside. I'm so glad we chose the outside patio. It is beautiful without being intimidating, with comfortable chairs, beautiful lights and flowers everywhere, and quiet. We had a mimosa flight, a bourbon cocktail, the deviled eggs, a burger and fries, and avocado toast--all were delicious. But what stood out to us most was the service. It has been so long since a manager, our server, and the host were all so kind to us, not just in seating us and serving us, but all came over separately to ask us about our hike earlier that day, if we enjoyed it, where we went, etc. Scott even came by to say hi before he left on his shift since he spoke to us on the phone. I can't remember the last time I was treated with that much thought and care at a restaurant. This place has me looking for reasons to come back to Hickory so I can visit again. Thanks for the meal!"
