This restaurant has great ambiance, food, drinks, and staff. While the farm to table aspect is impressive itself, the fact that they make their own spirits is an added bonus. I had the G&T Fizz, recommended by our waiter Lucas, and it was excellent. Lucas was attentive and knowledgeable making the overall experience 10 out of 10.

Biscuits were the best I’ve ever had, crab cake was yummy and the key lime pie was large and worth the money. Nice overall atmosphere and super close by the Marriott Marquis and Convention Center. Definitely recommend!
