    First time visit. Everyone from reception to waitstaff was very friendly and accommodating. The food was absolutely wonderful. Happy hour was on when we got there; half off whiskey and whiskey cocktails. My wife saw the first listing and didn't have to look and farther: Ziggy Stardust Old Fashioned. She had 2 and loved them. We had the Gooey Sweet Corn Souffle to start, then moved on to the Fried Chicken, which we ordered the Heirloom Carrots and Grits as accompaniments. Last we had Banana Pudding Creme Brulee. The entire meal was fantastic. We took home half the chicken and sides. The price for the carrots and grits was a little high, especially when it was probably about 1.5 accompaniments carrots, but they were still worth it. Can't wait to come back!

    If you are looking for extraordinary experience for dining, this is it !! Beyond professional greeting, hosting to table, intro by waiter. Waiter was beyond expectations, with recommendations on wine pairing, sauces on selections, and general menu options. Had charred octopus to start, Elk loin with suggested sauce and seared scallops as addition. Saulteed mushrooms, creamy mashed potatoes as side. Would order again and again !! Strawberry Bruelee for desert !! Do not want to spoil visit!!! Wait until you are handed the menu !!!! Trust Me !!
