"We stopped at the restaurant for lunch and were probably seated outside. There are covered and non-covered areas, as well as indoor seating. The waiter was very attentive and kind. He took our appetizer order. We got a salad to split between the two of us and devilish eggs. I was really pleased that they were willing to serve the salad separately. When we ordered the main dish, we were able to split it as well. Devilish eggs were not that great. The egg white was clearly old, so I assume they pre-boil the eggs a day or two in advance. It tasted rubbery, and the topping was nothing to brag about either. Definitely a failing grade for this dish. The salad was basic, and balsamic vinaigrette was more like a paste instead of dressing. The consistency was definitely odd. I wonder if it was made with some sort of coconut oil that might harden and cooler temperatures. We also ordered almond and cornmeal crusted trout. It was excellent. Served with cheesy grits (they have a variety of other sides if you don't like grits), trout was soft and flaky. It looked like it was cooked fresh. Overall, not a bad experience. I would rate it at 3.5 out of 5. I was a bit taken aback by the reaction at the hostess desk when I mentioned that I was concerned about a dog who was locked up in the car in their parking lot on this hot day. They reassured me that the dog is okay, so I assumed it was one of the employee's pets. With that said, the reaction was almost defensive as I was trying to bring their attention to a safety issue. It certainly darkened the overall experience, albeit not relevant to the restaurant itself."
