    Joined a friend for breakfast. She had the granola and yogurt, and I had the egg, ham and cheese croissant. Service and food were great. Such a cute place!

    Best shrimp and grits I’ve ever had. Simple but very flavorful. Worth the price.

    honestly, food was average. beer tartare was excellent and large portion, but brussels, burger, crabcake all felt average. fries also disappointing. good service but not worth the pricetag imo.

    Everything was expertly prepared and presented. All good tasting, and one guest even noted the layers of seasoning and distinctiveness in each dish. And the appetizer portions were decent sized, enough to share. A bit pricey, but worth it every once in a while to splurge!
