    Our first time to this restaurant and wow! Atmosphere was amazing and the food was incredible! I got the shrimp and grits and it was literally the BEST shrimp & grits I’ve ever eaten. My husband got a NY strip and collard greens. He gave 5 stars as well. Our server Mat was friendly and answered all my questions and his service was fantastic. Will definitely dine here again.
