Meet Rick

Rick Erwin is living his dream. A native of Greenville, SC, Rick has always had a life-long passion for the restaurant business.

Today, his passion revolves around bringing his devoted patrons the finest food and exceptional service in a casually elegant and comfortable setting.

"We start every day with the same goal, ” Rick says, "keeping our customers satisfied.”
