| - My husband and I were driving by Tivoli when we saw a sign for this place, so I pulled it up on Yelp and realized it was their grand opening. Looked at the menu and my husband did a U turn so we could check it out. We were seated right away with out a reservation, which was great. We got there before the dinner rush. The place is very welcoming, and the staff was very friendly. I loved the desk with the collection of vintage salt and pepper shakers. Would of been cool to see something like that on the tables instead of plain plastic ones. I was really excited to try the Chicken and dumpling soup, but the waitress informed me they were out, bummer. Running out of an item on your first night open? Interesting. Luckily there were plenty of yummy sounding items to try. We ordered the baked BBQ 1/2 chicken, Maple n Bacon Baked Beans, Homemade cornbread, and the baked cheddar mac n cheese. While we were waiting, the lights dimmed down, and started flickering, annoyingly. The staff seemed to notice, but nothing was done, or could be done to remedy this. They have their biscuits to order on the menu, but FYI they bring you a basket of them before you get your food. We found a hair on a biscuit, which happens, but not off to a great start so far. We weren't a huge fan of these. Kind of hard, and not very warm at all. I did notice they looked like they were in a heart shape, which if so, I loved! Our corn bread came out way before the rest of our food, and it was in a skillet, but completely cold. Would of preferred it warm and served with the rest of our meal. The chicken was so delicious! Juicy and soft, and just so good. It would of been nice to have a small dish of BBQ sauce to dip it in, but this was by far the best thing we ordered. The baked beans had slices of sausage in it, which was a welcoming surprise. I give the beans a thumbs up along with the chicken. The mac n cheese was way too rich for both of us, but that is just our taste. Some people might really be into that. All the sides were served in miniature stoneware, which were adorable. In the end we weren't super impressed with the food, but we will be back to try the soup and banana pudding for sure!
