Agatha Nolen: Ruffino Chardonnay to start.
Shoaib Rahman: The shrimp and grits are amazingly spicy, cheesy, and delicious. On the other hand, I would recommend passing on the lobster mac & cheese.
jane massey: Chicken croquettes -- nom nom nom
Lesley Espinosa: I will start saying that the manager is awesome, great service! A really good selection of wine and don't forget to try some of their chocolates and cheeses👌 can't wait to go back !
Amol Utrankar: Incredible. You have to try the sipping chocolate! (4oz. is *definitely* rich & filling enough.)
Amanda Bell: The chocolate is amazing. My relatives love it, so it's an easy gift for them. The Green Hour is also very fun. Each cocktail is created with care (so it's not fast) but it's very much worth it.

Elle Breezee: Happy hour seven days!! Half price wine and $5 draughts!! The bar menu is to die for!! And half price 5-7p. Get the deviled eggs
Connie: Loved the spicy broth - spicy, but delicious. Make your own sauce for dipping...tons of options!
Wendy: The Mei Fun was awesome but the fried shrimp app. had to much batter and bland. My husband didn’t like the sweet/ sour chicken, had too much batter and bland. Beautiful restaurant though.
Bob P: Will have to come back to try more. Lettuce, beef, clear noodles. Loved it

James: Hundreds of candles help create the romantic vibe & ambiance found in this former warehouse space. I highly recommend the duck, which is absolutely delectable.
Carrie Bevis: The duck wings are out of this world, almost candy-like. The bison sirloin and tuna were both fantastic and expertly complimented with seasoning or sides. Save room for dressert.
Brant McQuitty: The starters, decor, outdoor seating and servers are fantastic. The bacon wrapped quail stuffed with dates was lovely.
