We took a day trip to Waxhaw and searched for small plates, which led us just a short walk from downtown to this gem. Our server, Maikia, was wonderful! She recommended the glazed Brussels sprouts and the kale salad—both excellent choices. I’m especially glad we tried the Tomato Soup Shooter. Such a fun and flavorful twist! I was wondering and forgot to ask if they use a local bakery for the bread stuffed with pimento cheese. I could see this being done with sourdough. Yum! My husband ordered the Smokin’ Nachos. They were good, but I would have loved to see shredded or chunkier pieces of chicken for a heartier bite. I did share that feedback while we were dining. What truly blew me away, though, was dessert. Oh my! The ginger snap cookies (100 year old secret recipe) paired with local creamery ice cream and drizzled with that exquisite blend of coffee moonshine caramel was absolutely incredible. A perfect ending! We highly recommend this place. PS And we always love a beautifully restored, old converted mill—there’s just something special about dining in a space filled with history.

5 stars across the board. Makaia (sorry I'm sure I spelled that incorrectly) was phenomenal and didn't complain when my table just kept finding more things to order. She was very communicative and friendly. I feel like our table of 5 ordered half the menu, and everything was beyond our expectations. Each dish was fresh and prepared wonderfully, we will definitely be back again and again

Sharable dishes. Overall good food but some of the dishes were misses. The tacos were okay but the avocado and cheese didn’t hit the spot. The avocado wasn’t ripe. The ice cream stole the show, so good. Good vibes in terms of atmosphere and friendly service.
