    Our food was absolutely incredible. For the first course we had the shrimp, mussels, and meatballs. All were cooked and seasoned to perfection. For my entree I got the beef short ribs and my friends both got the ravioli. The short ribs were so tender and paired perfectly with the mashed potatoes and miso sauce. Both of my friends finished their ravioli and had rave reviews. We finished off with the Sweet Home Carolina dessert, which was very rich and tasted a lot like a snickers bar. Our server, Basil, was very attentive and knowledgeable. We will definitely be coming back!

    This was such a fun dinner! The place isn’t very big and the vibes were immaculate! Everyone was eating, drinking and having a great time. We ordered a bottle of wine and the garlic bread (holy moly- can’t recommend enough). The food was taking longer than expected - we didn’t notice or care bc the environment was so fun and the wine was flowing- but the manager came up and apologized, our waiter apologized.. the service was phenomenal. And the food was 100000% worth the wait!

    We were a little stressed about the parking situation so when we inquired with the staff at the lobby they offered complimentary valet for up to 3 hrs which was a relief with a toddler. Our food was very tasty and better than I anticipated from the Google reviews - you deserve much higher. We will definitely return the next time we're in the area.
