My husband and I had a wonderful meal from the perfectly cooked rack of lamb to the bread pudding. But the high point in the evening was our server/bartender Tim. He was attentive and professional. Thoroughly impressed!

Thank goodness fine line has started their Sunday brunch again. Sausage gravy and biscuits are to die for. I was also never a fan of grits until I had the shrimp and grits here. Now I love them! Outdoor seeting is great. If you haven't tried their Sunday brunch yet make the trip.

The two ahi tuna dishes were as if the restaurant did not understand how to prepare rare tuna. Pricey for an overcooked and dry tuna... More

My wife, 19 year-old son & I shared a meal at Fine Line last Saturday, and were absolutely delighted. We each started with the Roasted Corn Chipotle Soup special, and loved it - nicely layered flavors of roast corn, fresh corn, with a hit of chipotle and creme fraiche that we all enjoyed (we range from medium to chilihead on...

A year later on our trek to upstate NY, we had another great meal. Great food, great service and away from the crowds.
