Sam A.Sam A.: Nice yet laid-back atmosphere. Free spoon bread (like sweet cornbread with a little sauce on it, sort of gingerbread-esque). Veggie platter tasted amazing and looked like art on a plate!

AndaJDAndaJD: Great food!

Steve M.Steve Mahn: Chicken under a brick is the way to go. Nice combination of sweet molasses glaze and savory, well-seasoned chicken breast. Also give the carrot cake a try

EpicuriousEpicurious: The simple food is deceptively attention-grabbing: seared, garlicky beef short ribs; oozy Gouda beignets; burrata dressed with truffle oil and fleur de sel over crunchy bruschetta. Read more.
