Located in downtown Monroe, the restaurant may have opened its doors in 2008, but the building goes back much further.

The J.S. Bloch Building was built in 1893 operated as a saloon before playing host to several businesses throughout the years including a general store, a cafeteria, a bookstore, and a bustling cotton exchange.

The sunsets, in particular, are mesmerizing.

There are four separate dining rooms upstairs that can accommodate anywhere from 5 to 125 guests.

The menu also changes seasonally, so you know you're always getting the freshest ingredients around.

Several different benedicts pepper the brunch menu as well as southern staples like shrimp & grits and chicken & waffles.

One of their signature dishes, "Not Ya Grammy's Meatloaf" is a perfect plate of comfort food.
