The food, the service and the ambience were excellent. It was busy so the noise level was moderate but the high ceilings meant that we had no trouble hearing each other talk.

The whipped ricotta small plate was amazing! Drinks were superb as well. The grits that came with the scallops were flat but the scallops themselves had a very fresh taste.all in all will definitely go back. The sour dough had a great crust on it. The butter was cold wish it was more room temp but I can’t be too picky lol
