Our group of three enjoyed dinner and particularly appreciated all the gluten free options. We tried the fried chicken, shrimp and grits, babyback ribs, street corn and tempura fried crabcake, lobster bisque. It was all very good though the tempura crabcake was bland. It was lively with a busy bar area, televised sports, plenty of comfortable booths. The beer and wine choices are extensive. Portions are large so expect to bring food home. It’s noisy but the tall booths work well to block adjacent noise. Service was excellent and gracious. We did have to wait to get seated since people were slow to leave so that’s a good sign for the hospitality. It’s a nice balance between fast casual and fine dining so a refreshing choice in the neighborhood.

Our server, Natalie did a great job of delivering really delicious food to us. She recommended the spatchcock chicken and it was fantastic, I might not have ordered that myself, but her encouragement of how good it was prompted me to do so, and she was spot on! The music may have been a little louder than I like last night Sometimes it’s difficult to hear my guest.
