A fun restaurant with a unique menu. The mussels were small and tasty with a special toast for the excellent sauce. Oxtail with grits, fried like hushpuppies, was good but quite a small portion. Cabbage was also nice. We would not order chicken skins again but we glad we tried then.

Excellent food, local, seasonal and unique ingredients. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere. Loved it!

First, this in no way an attempt to put the restaurant in a bad light. In order for these fine folks to succeed feedback is warranted and honestly, should be appreciated. I want to make this simple and plain as possible. 1. The cabbage appetizer was fantastic. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The sauce perfectly balanced out the cabbage and pork. However, the appetizer should never be the best dish of the night. 2. The drinks were fantastic 3. The service was exceptional 4. The grilled scallops were over cooked. Overcooked to the point that the char from the grill permeated the entirety of the dish and it tasted as though you were eating next to a campfire. The portion size for the price was an absolute disappointment. The oxtail dish was delicious but yet again, the portion size was a disappointment. Seriously, we left dinner, stopped by the store and picked up something for when we got home. When I read the description of this restaurant my assumption was that this would be someone's interpretation of a home cooked meal from their childhood. This was not a meal, it was simply a tasting. Had this been a coursed meal then the portions would have made sense but when your menu literally labels you entree as “Big Ole” you instantly think that you're going to leave satisfied and full. I truly hope that management and ownership read this and understand that what you imply through your menu should be followed through on your dishes and portion sizes.

Our 1st visit was for my husband's birthday. Service, food and presentation was impeccable. Yummmm!

The food was overpriced and not a good variety of choices. As a “starter” they gave you a piece of Texas toast with a brown butter, unacceptable to say the least. The drinks were horrible! I had to ask for Tequila instead of Vodka which made the drink good. The first drink I ordered was drenched in ginger and black tea, no liquor, just a strong taste of ginger. Not a great concept with the food or drinks. The ambiance was nice but I would not go back or even refer this to anyone!
