    Food was great. Restaurant was super accommodating for a few of us who were gluten-free. Highly recommend.

    A really fun take on southern food traditions, from start to finish. I went with a group of four, all with different food preferences, and everyone heartily enjoyed their experience. Of note were the tartare, the duck, the beer list, and the desserts.

    Took my friend out for dinner here during Restaurant Week. Loved it! We got the fried oysters, beef tartare, pork cheek, shrimp and grits, Key Lime pie and "cigarettes and coffee" for dessert. My favorite was the shrimp and grits: the grits were soooooooo creamy and the shrimp were massive. Beef tartare was also a standout. Both desserts too. Not too sweet. Would love to go back sometime.

    Amazing dining experience from a diverse menu with a great selection to a wonderful wine pairing. I especially enjoyed the brussels sprouts and coffee and cigarettes dessert. Both my guest and I said we would both be returning. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful evening!

    Service and decor was outstanding. Mains were a bit one note and felt like they could use some acid to cut through some of the heavy richness. Loved the Virginia ham tartine. Both desserts were fantastic.

    We liked our food choices & the service was good. Liked the amuse buche the kitchen sent out. Our only criticism was the heavy crust on the duck leg. The duck breast & meat on the leg were very good.
