This place was unbelievable from start to finish! We walked in and it was restaurant week.. unbeknownst to us. I was visiting my hometown from San Diego last minute. (For a funeral) The manager did his absolute best to get us settled in the bar area. It was my Moms 72nd bday and it was an impromptu outing. She doesn't like sitting at the bar, but here it was different. We saddled up and immediately felt at home. Clean bar with warm welcoming faces smiling at us. The crafting of the cocktails was something to behold. Muddling, slicing, burning cedar chips, preparing fruits and garnishes, etc. Impeccable. We decided to eat at the bar as well. We ordered shrimp and grits, crab and chorizo hush puppies, fried oysters, golden beets and baked sweet potatoes. E V E R Y bite was unreal. Best shrimp and grits I've ever had and I'm southern as can be. They ended up giving us complimentary drinks in honor of my Mom and a delicious chocolate desert to boot. Usually sitting at the bar you get dodgy service and not so great attention to detail. I have travelled the world and dined out a LOT and they know what they are doing here. Amazing customer service and attention to detail. Thank you guys for making my Mom's Birthday night so special, one that we will never forget. And thank you for accommodating us on such a hectic night and making us feel like valued clientele. Needless to say, we will be back and you should go now! You'll feel like part of the family. Cheers!
