Overall the food was pretty good. We came shortly before closing and during the holidays. Service was good as well. The poutine fries a tad spicy but good (we had toppings on the side. The pork belly was really good, nice texture and flavor. The onions really compliment it. Shrimp n grits...the shrimp was not 'fishy' n grits were the right consistency, dish was quite flavorful. . . SO liked it... overall recommended

Great salads and southern fare. Love menu items, wish they had white rice on menu within the entree selections, instead of brown rice. Desserts ate good too.

A cool hang out place. Good service and a nice cocktail menu and several wines by the glass to go along with the beer list. My shrimp and grits was a little cold and our other items were just okay.

Went for the first time this evening. We had reservations but arrived early. We were promptly seated as tables were available. We had excellent service. I have food allergies and all precautions were taken not to cross contaminate my food. We ordered drinks which were excellent. Appetizers which arrived timely and hot, and dinner which also arrived timely and hot. We ordered a bottle of wine which was fairly priced and properly poured. All 4 diners were pleased with their selections. We had the pork chop special, chicken salad, chicken Milanese, and wedge salad and mac and cheese. I saw recent reviews and was a little concerned but our experience was excellent.

The shrimp and grits here are my personal favorite and I'm going to say I think the best on town. The grits themselves aren't like any run of the mill ones you'd get at a store and when you add the combination of generously sized shrimp, bacon and flavors from the broth it's all perfect! The coffee here is also sublime. Rebekah was very personable, attentive to our table and welcoming.

Great little place. The service was PHENOMENAL. She was sweet, attentive, and personable. He decor is cute and the prices are reasonable. The burgers were delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try the fried chicken.

I had the grits and pork for Sunday brunch. I thought the good was good but not spectacular. They have a much more interesting drink selection. For a night cap this place is awesome. For food it is meh.

This Place was AMAZING. It was not super busy when we went so not much of a wait. I absolutely loved our waiter. The food and cold press juice was DELIGHTFUL!!!
