    We got the omnivore tasting menu. One of our party had a significant food allergy. The staff and kitchen were great, substituting from the vegan menu in the case of one item, and steering us clear of one choice. The food is creative and fun, not pretentious. Pig jowl on grits with red eye gravy and huckle berries was a particularly good course. A dessert made with cranberry beans and huckleberries was really tasty also. Fun vibe in the restaurant.
